Civil Rights Movement
Hey guys! Unfortunately , I have to report many stories in just one day time. This post wil be about Civil Rights Movement. So please comment and ENJOY!:D
Civil Rights Movement
What is Civil rights movement and when did it happen? Well, I'm going to answer all the doubts in this post. The Civil rights movement actually was a worldwide political movement for the equality before the law between 1950 and 1930. The process was long and tenuous in many countries, and most of the movements did not fully achieve their goals although, the efforts did lead to improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed group peoples.
Here are some examples of the significant incidents that took place during the civil rights movement :
1) The threat to march on Washington D.C. During WWII, President Truman creating his 10-point civil rights program, the 14th amendment being passed, the revoking of the separate but equal doctrine in 1954.
2)During 1964, May 4 , Over the spring and summer, student volunteers begin taking bus trips through the South to test out new laws that prohibit segregation in interstate travel facilities, which includes bus and railway stations. Several of the groups of "freedom riders," as they are called, are attacked by angry mobs along the way. The program, sponsored The Congress of Racial Equality. (CORE) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), involves more than 1,000 volunteers, black and white.
Well, which American President supported the civil rights movement. The outcome of this Civil Rights movement is that many African American were treated as important as the whites. Slavery is now illegal and discrimination Blacks are also against the law. Both Civil Rights Movement and To kill a mockingbird are about fighting rights for the African American.
