The civil rights movements is one of the greatest movement in United States history. African Americans, women and men didn’t have the same rights and citizenship we have now. The movements was for African American to obtain civil rights and for the role of government in protecting these rights. From protesting to rioting, members of the black community was tired of discrimination, racism and oppression. Fighting hard for civil rights, leaders such as Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks, Andrew Goodman and many others paved the way for blacks in America. The legal changes that happen during the civil rights movements, greatly affected the opportunities available to women, nonblack, minorities, disabled individuals and other victims of discrimination.
