Representation 2 is the best representation in showing how effective peaceful protest was because it has the best accuracy since it’s a history book, for example “In 1961, 26 year old African-American teacher” this is an accurate report, moreover the source has good comprehensiveness and covers most of the events of the civil rights in the USA. However, Representation 1,2 and 3E all represent how effective peaceful protest was in securing civil rights in the USA. All the representations are judged on accuracy, which is compared to my own knowledge of factual events, the objectivity which is how balanced the source is including its purpose and comprehensives, which is how complete the source is as well as mentioning most of the main aspects of the civil rights movement and how effective peaceful protest was. Representation 3E is not complete since it only mentions the march on Selma and has cut most of the civil right movement which is not mentioned. No mention of the voting rights act which was a direct result of the Selma march. This source does not explain the split in civil rights movement and that many condemned the march including the SNCC which left “a string of embittered cities” and tensions in towns that it has passed. Rep 3E is very subjective with little objectivity since it’s a photo it significantly dramatizes the event using the angle of the shot which is below them and shows the protestors as high and respectful.
The photo showed the march formed a never ending line which is providential. The language that the source uses “heroes of the era” praises the march and has no negativity about the source. Moreover, Representation 3E since it mentions “Photographs are the best way – often the only way – for us to try and understand how they overcame that inequality” this is untrue since we know that the role of television in publicizing civil rights movement outshone the photographs and newspapers that were around during the civil rights movement, for example Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech which had a greater effect since it was broadcasted and recorded on TV footage, this had a bigger effect and would not have had the same effect as a newspaper or a photo article, moreover another example is of TV being superior than photographs is the Little Rock High in September 1957 where TV captured the racist comments and the negative attitudes directed at Elizabeth Eckford and this helped to spread publicity and further the civil rights movement. However the source does have some valid accuracy, such as “fundamental truth that America was not an equal society” this is correct since black salary would be on average half of a white salary and therefore Representation 3E is accurate in some aspects but not totally accurate.

Representation 1 has limited completeness and does not discuss the most important legislation in civil rights movement such as the civil rights act and the voting rights act which actually changed civil rights. Furthermore, no reference made to the important of publicity such as at the March on Birmingham and the March on Washington and these key events changed the public opinions and helped push the act in 1964. Although the source mentions Montgomery sit-ins the only precise information from that is “a group of African-American students sit down at a segregated lunch counter in Woolworth store in Greensboro” it does not mention other sit-ins specifically and the source describes the event rather than the impact of how effective they were. Representation 1 is seen as objective since it states SLCL (Southern Christian Leadership Committee) were not responsible in the “struggle to free the south” this demonstrates that King who was the leader of the peaceful protest was not involved in everything. The language in Representation 1 is simple and direct and also non emotive, therefore likely to be more objective. However, the source does not mention some people who did not support the sit-ins such as Thurgood Marshall a prominent figure in the civil rights movement, who derided the tactic especially the tactic of jail-ins when students refused bail in order to clutter the jails.

The only negative comment of representation 1 is that their impact was “limited” and it does not elaborate this point any further, this suggests that representation 1 is one sided although this limits the sources objectivity it is still relatively objective with a good overall view and non-emotive language. Representation 3 is accurate and no factual errors for example the source describes “Sit-ins were spreading across the south” this is correct since at least 70,000 activist from the SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) which were heavily involved in the sit-ins. In addition King often side lined as described in the source. Therefore, representation 1 has no incorrect information, it covers a large amount of detail and therefore very accurate. Representation 2 has limited completeness like representation 1 it does not discuss the civil rights act, however representation 2 mentions the Voting Rights Act and more importantly the black power movement and the riots which is key in understand that sometimes violent protest prevailed.
Representation 2 describes the role of publicity and states “millions of television viewers around the world saw the divisions facing American society” Representation 2 is objective and discussed both sides of the story such as the dispute between the peaceful and violent protest, for example “Malcom X said: “Whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms singing “we shall overcome”?” this demonstrates that the source was not just looking at King and his role in the civil rights movement but also the opposition. Furthermore, representation 2 mentions how people were “killed….As part of a white backlash” this suggests that the source is suggesting violence has a counter-productive effect and how there was a “silence majority” that were afraid of this. This is clearly demonstrated in the 1968 election where Nixon and his republicans where voted in due to public’s wish who wanted a more conservative government. The fact that the source written in 2002 likely historian perspective as well as analysis effects such as the peaceful and violent protest this allows the source to be very objective.

Also representation 2 is very accurate and includes large amount of details in facts and figures for example “In 1961, 26 year old African-American teacher Robert Moses…” it also states “34 people died in riots that erupted in Watts” which is also valid, and it also talks about the literacy tests which in some states included impossible questions such as “how many bubbles in a bar of soap” In conclusion, representation 1, 2 and 3E which are all not fully complete and do not mention the Civil Rights Act 1964 and the main effect of peaceful protest such as during the 1960’s. Rep 3E only focuses on the march on Selma while Representation 1 does not mention the voting rights act unlike representation 2 therefore representation 2 is most complete out of all the other representations. Representation 2 mentions March on Washington and the March on Birmingham which are two important aspects in the peaceful protest.
Representation 3E is the only representation which is mainly subjective and contains little to non-objectivity written by photojournalist while representation 1 and representation 2 is written by historian and considers both side of the story however representation 2 discussed Malcom X and the dispute between the peaceful protest and the violent protest and also how some people “felt the pact of change was too slow” therefore Representation 2 is the most balanced and objective. Representation 3 E only representation with inaccuracies while representation 1 and representation 2 contain valid facts however representation 2 covers more detail and a wider range than representation 1. Due to representation 2 being the most complete, objective and also very accurate it is the best source in representing how effective peaceful protest was in securing civil rights in the USA.
