Why did the Civil Rights movement take hold in the 1960's and not earlier? I believe that the civil rights movement took place when it did because the African Americans finally got fed up with it and had enough courage to do something about it. Fear and lack of leadership may have had a huge role to play in why this action took so long to materialize. I think that the wars that African Americans fought in had a big part of them finally rising up and saying that enough is enough. If they…
