Civil Rights Outline

The civil rights movement was a fight for political and social injustice that took place in

the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to achieve equal rights in the United States of

America. The Civil war had officially gotten rid of slavery the but it had not ended the

discrimination that black Americans faced. Black individuals still face racism on a daily basis

despite having fought over the issue in the 1900s for nearly two decades [ CITATION Civ \l 1033 ].

The movement itself involved various strategies, with serious legal action along with non-violent

civil disobedience and lastly black militancy[ CITATION The \l 1033 ].

I will be researching the ways the civil rights movement succeeded in its goals for

change, and in which ways did it fall short. This will lead to researching in how effective were

the moves made to achieve equal rights and better treatment and perspectives of the African

American communities in the united states. In my opinion it is difficult to say whether or not the

aims of the movement were met or not as similar challenges are still being faced by black

individuals. Issues such as racial segregation are not as prominent as they were once before but

discrimination in various areas of life are still faced by black individuals. On the other hand,

some issues such enhancing of diversity of the classroom or workplaces have worked in order to

reduce prejudice, but even then, such issues are still important in areas such as media

entertainment[ CITATION Civ1 \l 1033 ]. More in-depth research has to conducted in order to find

out what major issues are impacting the lives of African Americans in the united states.

Lastly, I believe it is difficult to denote whether the civil rights movement succeeded as

mentioned before the issues are still going on. However, I will note that the movement in my

opinion did not fail as it ultimately did shut down a good number of serious issues that were

faced by black individuals.
