I want you to think about the theme of power and the Cold War in the context of American democracy. As you know, the US was involved in an ideological war with the Soviet Union (and other communist nations) in the 1950s and 1960s. Essay prompt: In an essay, explain how the Cold War affected the Civil Rights movement in this period. (I.e., Why did people, like Chief Justice Earl Warren of the US Supreme Court, believe that progress in civil rights also advanced America’s Cold War agenda? Why did others associate desegregation and the Civil Rights movement with communism?) Resources for your essay: Besides the assigned textbook chapters, your essay must also incorporate the following primary sources: 1. Mashekin Concert – a 1948 cartoon produced by the Soviet Union on the issue of race in America. Think about the intended message of this cartoon/propaganda, especially the ending.
