Origins of the Civil Rights Movement
Open accessAbstract
The Montgomery bus boycott of 1955–1956 has become a landmark event in civil rights history. It was the Committee (changed a year later to Congress) of Racial Equality that first adopted the tactic of a sit-in demonstration for civil rights in Chicago in 1942. A minority of the Committee favors the elimination of segregation as an ultimate goal but opposes the imposition of a federal sanction. President Truman's motives in taking a more forthright stand for civil rights were not purely altruistic but also a matter of political pragmatism. The shift in votes gave the national Democratic Party a greater investment in supporting measures that would appeal to black voters and increase the black vote. The Harlem bus boycott of 1941 demonstrated that such a tactic could be effectively used in the North as leverage for black demands.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
