An Investigation of Civil Rights Movements in the USA
Part One
Introduction
The Cold War was a significant time for the United States. The result was that groups left out before got more freedom and fair treatment. In response to racism and discrimination, a group of activists and allies from all over the country have come together to form a resistance organization. The movement’s success has been mainly due to the work of its leaders. To fight for justice and equality today, you must know what made the cause successful. During the CRM, people who wanted to keep systemic racism the same and those who tried to eliminate it clashed (Litchenstein 52). Protests, civil disobedience, court challenges, and policy changes were all part of this fight. Members included well-known people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X and ordinary people who fought for human rights. The CRM was successful because of social, political, and cultural factors, not just one. Strong coalitions, alliances, and changes to laws and policies moved public opinion in favor of groups that were once outside. In this paper, I will examine the nuts and bolts of why CRM works so well in the United States. I will present primary and secondary sources to discover the most important events, people, and strategies that led to the movement’s success. I will also talk about how these new ideas could shape future efforts for social justice. The main goal of our study is to help those who fight for social justice and equality in the US by illuminating what led to past social upheavals here.

Research Narrative
In the United States, the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) was a turning point in the country’s history. It was a decisive step toward more freedom and justice for excluded groups. Deep-seated racism and segregation, the rise of nonviolent resistance, and the rising visibility of activists and their calls for change all contributed to the shift. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a lot of racism and discrimination in the United States. This was a big reason why the CRM was started. Even after slavery ended in the 19th century, African Americans still had difficulty fully participating in all parts of society, such as housing, education, work, and politics. To put it simply, the legal system is biased against African-Americans and other blacks.
Despite their problems, African Americans started to band together and fight this official racism and discrimination. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, who pushed for peaceful ways to fight, were a big part of what started this movement. These methods, which included protests, civil disobedience, and other forms of direct action, were meant to draw attention to the wrongs of the current system to cause moral anger and, eventually, change (Penningroth & Dylan, 890). Activists and their calls for change were influential in getting the CRM. Activists might use boycotts, sit-ins, and other acts of civil disobedience to draw attention to the unfairness of the status quo and get people behind their cause. Civil rights riots and violence were covered in the news, which brought attention to the injustice of the ...
