Meanwhile in the US, White Americans were facing a similar issue. Their national identity was also being challenged through the civil rights. Before ‘White Americans’ were the dominant race, however the civils rights movements saw the rise of ‘Black Nationalism’. Black Nationalism was the African-American community showing that they were citizens of the USA in the same context to White Americans (Foner & Garraty, 1991). This was done through various marches, demonstrations and speeches. Through the movement, rights were awarded to African-Americans, desegregation occurred and with it a sense of social inclusion. Thus multiculturalism saw its birth in the US.
