Resumen
La situación que se vive en los Estados
Unidos (EE. UU.), agudizada a principios
de junio de 2020, representa la punta del
iceberg de una problemática que enfrenta, desde hace muchos años, la población
afroamericana. En la historia de las minorías raciales en territorio norteamericano,
existen grandes luchas por la igualdad
y la búsqueda de derechos y reconocimiento ante la ley; uno de los casos más
destacados es el de Martin Luther King,
quien lideró la lucha contra el racismo y
la segregación racial. Este pastor bautista
inició su lucha cuando en 1955 Rosa Parks, mujer negra, es arrestada por violar
una ley que prohibía a las personas negras ocupar espacios que estaban destinados a personas blancas, esa vez en un
autobús.
A partir de este hecho, Luther King,
junto con más de 400 mil personas, se manifiestan contra la violencia física y la gran
división existente en la sociedad norteamericana; particularmente, en lo referente
a las minorías raciales. La lucha se centró
en buscar soluciones judiciales en cuanto
a la segregación racial, el empleo y la pobreza, y la guerra de Vietnam; adoptando
una filosofia de manifestar y luchar por la
reivindicación de derechos por medios no
violentos. La lucha dió frutos en 1964 con
la aprobación del Acta de los Derechos Civiles, que otorgó derechos y representó un
paso hacia la igualdad; y en 1965 con el
Acta del Voto, que permitió a los afroamericanos emitir el sufragio. No obstante, la
violencia y crímenes por odio racial no van
a terminar: en 1968, Martin Luther King
muere asesinado y vuelven las grandes
manifestaciones contra la muerte de odio.
The situation in the States States (US), sharpened early June 2020, represents the tip of the iceberg of a problem faced, for many years, the population African American. In the history of racial minorities in North American territory, there are great struggles for equality and the search for rights and recognition before the law; one of the most featured is that of Martin Luther King, who led the fight against racism and racial segregation. This Baptist pastor began his struggle when in 1955 Rosa Parks, a black woman, was arrested for raping a law that prohibited black people from occupying spaces that were intended for white people, this time in a bus. From this fact, Luther King, together with more than 400 thousand people, they demonstrate against physical violence and the great existing division in North American society; particularly, regarding racial minorities. The fight was centered in seeking judicial solutions as regards to racial segregation, employment and poverty, and the Vietnam War; adopting a philosophy of manifesting and fighting for claiming rights by means not violent The struggle bore fruit in 1964 with the approval of the Civil Rights Act, which granted rights and represented a step towards equality; and in 1965 with the Act of the Vote, which allowed African Americans to cast their vote. However, the violence and hate crimes don't go to end: in 1968, Martin Luther King dies assassinated and the big ones return demonstrations against hate death.
