Civil Rights Movement Success

What is The Civil Rights Movement? It was a movement where African American individuals fought for equal right and social justice. Many situations, that has been characterized by nonviolent protests, or has taken the form of campaign of civil resistance aimed at achieving change through nonviolent forms of resistance. It was centered in the South, where the African American population was popular and where equality in education, economic opportunity, and the political and legal problems was most found. Their goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination. They wanted to secure legal recognition and federal protection of their citizenship. How was the Civil Rights Movement Successful? They won more legal rights for African Americans.

He rose to be a key figure in the movement. He had a wife named Coretta Scott King and had 4 children named Dexter Scott King, Yolanda Denise King, Martin Luther King III, and Bernice Albertine King. In 1965, King launched a voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama, a city where only 355 of 15,000 blacks could vote. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In 1955, December 1st, another key figure Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man. Four days later on December 5th, African Americans refused to ride buses. It lasted for 381 days. The US Supreme made the Montgomery bus systems to desegregate. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis Tennessee on April 4, 1968. His killer was a fugitive named James Earl Ray. Rosa Louise Parks was born on February 4, 1913. She was a civil rights activist. She was a hero to African Americans around the world. She had a husband named Raymond Parks. That day parks had been working all day she was very tired. She paid her fare like everyone else and she took her seat. There wasn’t any room at the next stop for 4 people to sit in the “white’s only section” so the bus driver made Parks and 4 others move. Parks refused to give up her seat so she was arrested. Rosa parks died on October 5, 2004 of natural causes she was 90 years

Everything that happened in those days gave us better lives today. All things considered, in any event to some degree. We no longer need to sit in the front of buses unless we want and need to and we can use the same fountains like whites. The Black Lives Matter Movement focuses more on police brutality. They can’t concentrate just on a certain something. The Civil Rights development was easy the Black Lives Matter Movement are having mobs and executing police this is not settling the issue. Key Individuals from the Civil Rights Movement ensured they fought to give us the privilege to vote, eat at the same restaurant and sit in the same classes as whites. We can get the same education like they are and we can be successful. I think The Civil Rights Movement was very beneficial to us because we don’t have the same problems like they encountered during the 1960s era. We don’t have to experience the Ku Klux Klan even though we do experience
