Be sure to use the sources provided to construct your argument and remember to reference the sources by letter. [LEVEL 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6] The essay is marked holistically using the IEB source-based essay rubric with the memoranda as a guideline. • Candidates may argue that King was to a larger extent responsible for the success of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. • King's fame, philosophy, legislative success, media attention, symbolism, ability to inspire, influence on the government and standing in the community attest to his importance to the Civil Rights Movement's success. • Local leadership, interactivity, student-run protests, SNCC and other factors were to a lesser extent responsible for success. • Modern historical theories discuss other factors but still recognise King as very important in the success of the movement. OR • Candidates may argue that King was to a lesser extent responsible for the success of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. • King's fame, philosophy, legislative success, media attention, symbolism, ability to inspire, influence on the government and standing in the community only played a part in the success of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. • Local leadership, interactivity, student-run protests, SNCC and other factors were to a larger extent responsible for success. • King's role is often exaggerated; a myth and local life did not always improve. Most protests were organised by local leadership and students. The younger generation criticised King for the pace of change and the philosophy of non- violence. SNCC organised sit-ins, Freedom Rides and Freedom Summer. • Modern historical theories stress the importance of local leadership and interactivity as the crucial aspect in the success of the movement.
