<p>Would you consider the LITERACY TESTS for voting to be DE FACTO or DE JURE segregation…</p>
<p>this appeared on my history test as a t/f question, multiple choice, matching, and in the essay so I need to know.</p>
<p>if i got it wrong, it hits 4fold…</p>
<p>tell me please! i must know</p>
<p>wouldn’t it be de jure because it was required by law?</p>
<p>come on guys…I must know before I go to bed because only one other girl and I put one of the choices and everyone else put the other one…</p>
<p>also one more I thought of…</p>
<p>which marks a turning pt. in the civil rights movement?
there were 3 BS answers but the 2 i pondered were the assassination of mlk or the divergence of SNCC and SCLC, i put the divergence…is that right?</p>
<p>and how did mont. improvement association exert pressure?
politically, socially, economically, or physically? i put economically but a lot put socially…which is right?</p>
<p>are you sure tako…damn! i put de facto because it was a custom that kept them out but it wasnt a law that they couldnt vote…it was a practice that made voting difficult…i dont know though
anyone else?</p>
<p>De facto, I think. The literacy tests were designed (legally) to test literacy. In practice, it caused segregation. The purpose of the law was not to specifically prevent blacks from voting, although that’s what it did in practice.</p>
<p>The assassination of MLK was definitely a “turning point” because the Civil Rights movement pretty much fell apart into riots and violence. I’d say economic for the MIA because it was a boycott, but I can see social being right too (a lot of publicity).</p>
<p>no, de jure. de facto is segregation by tradition and habit.</p>
<p>wait but didnt the divergence of the groups also spark violence and everything? well w/e for that one, it only appeared once…and are you sure it’s de jure martha? literacy tests were a tradition…my teacher wouldn’t tell us the answer…</p>
<p>I would say that the march on selma was a huge turning point, but go with MLK.</p>
<p>selma wasnt a choice…well i guess i got that one wrong…and the mont improvement? and can someone else answer the de jure de facto because it’s split?</p>
<p>yeah, but de facto is more like seeing a black person and saying “hey, ni*ger, get me some coffee.”</p>
<p>de facto is more in the mind, is more about the individual or community… refusing to welcome a black family into a neighborhood.</p>
