Abstract

This paper explores the link between African American civil rights activism and city planning before the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Using historical and spatial analyses, we discern the relationship between civil rights activism and leadership, voter registration, and city planning in Montgomery, Alabama, concluding—planning and African American activism and voting coevolved—with three distinct periods of planning and civil rights activism. The article suggests that housing demolition sought to curb potential political power through voting and civil rights activism alongside maintaining racial segregation and creating economic development in the postwar era.
计划、民权和非裔美国人投票:阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利的案例
本文探讨了1965年《投票权法案》颁布前非裔美国人民权运动与城市规划之间的联系。通过历史和空间分析,我们发现了阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利市的民权运动与领导、选民登记和城市规划之间的关系,总结了规划、非裔美国人运动和投票之间的关系,以及规划和民权运动的三个不同时期。文章认为,在维持种族隔离和创造战后经济发展的同时,拆除房屋试图通过投票和民权运动来遏制潜在的政治权力。
