Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that Eisenhower was a racist whose approach to the civil rights movement was to respond only to blatant violations of the federal supremacy of the executive branch,
2. Note that this was proven in the case of Eisenhower's dispatch of the U.S. Army to suppress the Arkansas National Guard ordered out to stop black youth from integrating Little Rock High School in 1957.
3. Conclude that the Little Rock incident helped to further polarize southern whites from the federal government and blacks in the civil rights movement. Other southern states dug in their heels and resisted desegregation of public schools.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that Emmett Till was a Chicago black native who went to Mississippi to visit relatives, and flirted with a white woman in a grocery store.
2. Note that he was killed by two white male relatives of the woman.
3. Explain that a legal case ensued after which the two white men were acquitted despite obvious evidence of their guilt before a white jury.
4. His body was shown to the public in Chicago where it made a media impact that reached the black public which was angered at the miscarriage of justice.
5. Conclude that this murder fed the flames of black discontent and helped steel blacks to the necessity of non-violent protest.
