The Discontent that Inspired the Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement is more of a collective term representing numerous activism that sought equal rights for the African Americans and to stop segregation, receive full political and socio-economic rights. Civil rights movement comprised of a variety of tactics, from passing proceedings in court to black power to politicization, the national government, and mass action. The efforts of the activists led to several substantial successes, but also encountered with the fierce resistance of white racists. The common understanding of Civil Rights activism was, in effect, a significant fight for liberty encompassing beyond the bold objectives of lawful rights and protection (Perea, 2010). From peaceful demonstrations and boycotts to armed self-protection, from court proceedings to popular beliefs, independence was the main goal that challenged the white supremacy and even opposed set laws on African Americans in the manner they operate in instants of disaster.

In the long run, the Civil Rights movement succeeded after determination with intense devotion and firm belief of the leaders that America even had a Black president. If it were not for Rosa Parks or MLK and the help of other activists, racial discrimination would still be in America, where people could have been judged on the basis of merit and capacity instead of social group or belief.
Through American history, the suffering and fairness of minorities, mainly those of African ancestry, have been argued and contested, with several fighting for the aim of equal opportunity from many angles (Perea, 2010). African Americans entered U. S as slaves with nearly no constitutional rights, and America fo...
