civil rights movement

Since the passage of the 22nd Amendment, all presidents eligible for reelection have sought it and been renominated by their party. Some won, some lost. The sole exception is Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, who very well could have won renomination (though certainly not without a considerable uphill...

(I wasn’t sure where to put this so I decided pre-1900.) From 1865 onwards (or sometime earlier if you want too) and beyond make the Civil Rights movements and other similar progressive movements relating to civil and human rights (African Americans, women, native Americans, Asian Americans...

(I in no way support neo-confederacy or anything of the sort, just had an interesting idea) The Rising Sun State Alternate History of the State of Arizona The point of divergence begins after the end of the American Civil War in 1865. After the war ended many former Confederates moved west to...

There is a limited focus on how comic books were changed thanks to the massacre and no, I do not count that weirdly written scene that says that both Clark and Bruce are dead as technically canonical to the timeline. If anyone can give me any ideas that would be brilliant.

what if soviets started WW2 by invading Europe incl germany before Nazis even take Austria with earlier industrialization leader other than Stalin butterflying away Holocaust how would this effect left, racism , civil rights and welfare state assuming soviets lose will supporters of welfare...

Let's say a strong voting rights act is passed by Kennedy or LBJ (because of early Kennedy killing) in 1961. How much of the political landscape does that change particularly in the south? Would the dixiecrats be able to use the threat of going third party or party switching since the black vote...

What if the US bureaucracy wasn't segregated in the 1910s? Say Woodrow Wilson doesn't get elected or that he doesn't impose Jim Crow in the civil service for whatever reason. How would race relations and civil rights evolve from then on? Could something like the Civil Rights Act be passed...

I have a plan for a unique timeline, here are the basics: During the arrest of Martin Luther King with Rosa Park's arrest the law enforcement found a racist loophole to sentence Martin to prison for more than 5 years, they alert this loophole to all the states in America ,some use it others...

Sequel to: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-new-frontier-with-new-challenges-jfk-survives.437104/ Chapter One The President had only begun to drift off to a quick nap at his desk in his private office after a shot of morphine earlier when the phone on his desk roused him from...

Gandhi's non-violent tactics became a huge inspiration for Black American leaders in the civil rights movement. If Gandhi had lived as a insignificant person, how would the civil rights movement look like without his tactics?

Hi! I'm currently searching through threads talking about a scenario in which World War I and World War II don't happen at all. While I'm glad that I can get some sort of bearing on where technology, decolonization, and birth rates may be in this counterfactual, but I have not seen any...

Part 1 “We must act to liquidate the communist scourge that threatens us from all over—from the Soviet Union in Europe, from just across the sea in Cuba and from within at the hands of communist agitators who, under the guise of civil rights, seek to upend the southern way of life and elevate...

The American Civil Rights Movement was know for it's non violent forms of protest. What changes are needed to make that script flip and have it be violent and what consequences would it have on the development of black rights and race relations?

What if Malcolm X had never been assassinated in 1965, and had instead lived to continue his work as a civil rights activist?

I'm currently re-writing my Dewey Wins TL and I was wondering whether a white supremacist paramilitary group would be plausible in the South during the early Civil Rights movement.

A lot of attention is paid to third party candidacies of George Wallace in the 60's. He was noted for his support for segregation, and more traditional Democrat labor politics afaik. But I haven't seen much focus on the earlier candidacies of Strom Thurmond in 1948. In OTL he and the "states...

Let's say that within a few days or weeks of Eisenhower being inaugurated as POTUS in 1953, the man drops dead from a heart attack or freak accident, leaving Richard Nixon in charge for nearly a full term before the 1956 presidential election. How does he handle things, both in foreign policy...

So I’m reading Robert Kennedy and his Times by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and in one chapter Schlesinger talks about how when Kennedy’s friend Byron White sent William Orrick down to the South, Orrick joked that he felt like he was in Russia because there was not an American flag in sight. Only...

What if, during or following the extradition of James Earl Ray for the assassination of Dr King, the following exchange was reported second hand (the questioner can be an FBI official, a London official, or some random person, whatever works best): Q: Why did you kill Dr King? JER: Money, same...

Why did the Scramble for Africa take so long, why wasn't it earlier? What was the reason that it took so long? What factor need to change for it might to have been earlier? Was the size underestimated and so if it was mapped earlier it might colonised faster? What factors need to change for...
