People of all races fought for equality during this time
period. Not only did they risk their standing in their communities, but they risked
their lives as well.
"The Movement" consisted of many
people and groups including African Americans, college students, and religious groups.
They organized marches, sits ins, and freedom rides all with the intentions of bringing
awareness to the fact that equality was not a reality in the
US.
The events that happened during this time period
brought awareness out in to the open. Thanks to people like Martin Luther King who
advocated for peacefulness and non-violence, blacks were able to achieve equal
rights.
