Low Down of the Civil Rights Movement
Basically, the Civil Rights movement was the movement for equal rights. This was for not only African Americans, but women , and religious groups as well. There were many events and people that led to the success of the Civil Rights Movement. Most of them are so well known they have their own federal holiday (MLK). Without the brave men and women who risked their lives for the rights of minorities, our great nation would be that of a nation that we have fought against for this same reason.
