The Civil Rights movement consider one of the most significant time in History for African American in the US. During the Civil Rights movement African-American women place a significant role. Some of African-American women take parts in helping desegregation in the southern communities. Many African-American women play a major role during the civil right movements. With the help of many black women the freedom fighters were able to make their voices be head all over the country. In my research the three sources that I choose to examine is Life magazine from July till September 1964, Time magazine from July till September 1965, and New Yorker magazine from May 1965 till July 1965.

Life magazine tries to cover up everything that has to do with the Civil Rights Movements, which is why I chose to study life magazine from July 1965 to September 1965. Most of the pictures in life magazine are about black violence against whites. During the Civil Right Movement life magazine did not show much of African American women and their role, it tries to cover everything that has happened among African American society. Many African American play big part I the Civil Right Movement, for example Rosa Parks she is one of the most strongest women of all that, because she has what it’s takes to stand up for what was right.

After years of discrimination, African American finally makes a stand and said no to discrimination. African American wanted to prove to the society that they were as equal as a white person and that they were able to do what white person could do. I think it is a great thing that many women start to make a stand against discrimination against
