It is sometimes called the period of civil rights, for the blacks, women and the labor workers.

In conclusion, the Civil Rights Movement is one of the most important events and movements in U.S. history. Containing influential figures such as JFK, Booker T. Washington, and George Washington Carver. As well as lesser-known people like Lewis Adams. Even though some of these figures are bigger and smaller than others, they all played a big role in the civil rights movement and making society more equal for everyone
The Civil Rights Movement during the 1900’s was a powerful and impactful set of protests towards African American rights. These protests supported ideas towards the equality of African Americans. This movement provided hope for these people and it began to show change in America. As change began to ensue, the Civil Rights Movement was impacted by events around the country. One specific event that influenced the Civil Rights Movement was the Tuskegee Airmen.
Numerous topics in U.S. history are pertinent and quite relevant to many things that happen today. A significant amount of diverse people and different events liken to each other and form an affinity and an association that merges them. The Civil Rights Movement was a fight for equal rights for African Americans in the United States, and it wouldn’t have turned out how it did if particular people were not involved. Choice, context, cause and effect, and chronology played the main role in this event specifically. Rosa Parks, Greensboro, and Freedom Riders were some of the events/people that had a significant play throughout the Civil Rights Movement.
Reconstruction Period During this period of time, legal, political, and cultural changes to prohibit discrimination resulted in many events known as the Civil Rights Movement. Multiple events ended segregation and the conflict for equality. All these events were significant and each event led to another, but I personally believe the Fifthteenth Amendment, Freedmen’s Bureau, and the black codes were the three most important events during the Civil War. New Southern State legislatures passed a series of laws in 1865 known as the black codes.
The Final Milestone of the Civil Rights Movement In the 1960’s, Negroes weren’t given voting rights. They couldn’t vote for President, or Mayor, or Vice President. They couldn’t vote for anybody. They protested frequently in a peaceful way, but got no where.
The Civil Unrest between the 1960s and 1970s compared to America today shows that issues still remain within this country. The 1960s was a decade of the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, social revolution, and the assassination of America’s leaders. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. If the assassination never occurred, equality for African Americans would of happened during JFK’s presidency and Vietnam War would have never escalated. When the Civil Rights Movement began in the streets throughout the United States, African Americans marched to end segregation and discrimination.
One of the most pivotal moments in American history. The Civil Rights Movement. Several prominent figures of the Civil Rights Movement such as Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy used their words to inspire and motivate people to act against discrimination and injustice. These words were carefully crafted to convey a message of hope, justice, and equality for all. The literature of the Civil Rights Movement helped demonstrate and spread the message of equality and justice for all.
Throughout the Civil Rights Movement there were key components and events that created great strides in the fight for equality. Two major events that held these components were Selma, Alabama’s march, leading to the passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and Memphis, Tennessee’s boycott for sanitation workers to get equal pay and equal insurance. Also, during the time in Memphis, the world lost Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a major leader that sparked civil unrest that led to change, and his death was controversial. The events that happened in Selma, Alabama, and Memphis, Tennessee impacted the Civil Rights Movement for the better even if there were negative actions at during the time of both.
The social protests affected people's lives and choices post World War Two as the racial discrimination was accentuated through everyone's everyday lives. The Civil rights movement led to some of the greatest individual protests in history
One of the most memorable times in the history of the US is the civil rights era. At the time many groups in the US were fighting to attain their rights. One of the most highlighted groups of people in this era were the African Americans. Being that they had come out from slavery but still endured almost a hundred years of discrimination and racism. The civil rights era brought about most of the circumstances we see in our society today.
The lecture focuses on the Civil Rights Movement and the most prominent events and people. According to the lecture, the Civil Rights movement began before the 1960s. They began back to the 1600s and during the slave rebellions. The Civil Rights Movement could also be seen during the Progressive Era with people such as W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington. Organizations such as NAACP and NACW were also part of the Civil Rights Movement.
I believe that a new civil rights movement is forming in America. Intersectional feminists, the BlackLivesMatter organization, and many individuals are striving for a change. Even presidential hopeful, Bernie Sanders sees the need for change in America. I have seen ordinary people organize protests. Others paid for the funeral costs for the police brutality victims.
