Civil Rights a Lesson Well Learned

There where many lessons I learned during the Civil Rights Movement Unit in AMS. Some of those lessons were respect, equality, equity, equal opportunity for all races and religion. It took longer than it should have but that is life for you. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were ome of the few who were in the cause to end segeragation all around the U.S. They have succeded and died for the cause they belived in and wanted best for their people. That is some of the reasons and lessons from the Civil Rights Movement.

Now even after the success from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the U.S still shows some struggle of equality, and equity. We still have racism in our schools, work places, and in everyday scenerios. That I think personally will go away with more time, and citizens realising that this country is full of minoritys and not just cacausions. This is still a big issue and topic in schools. All in all it will change with time and people opening up to diffrent minoritys.

The ideas and events from the Civil Rights Movement are related to the present. They still have major groups who still are battling some racial issues in America till this day. Also some of the murder cases from the Civil Rights era are being braught up and being convicted now after 2 centurys. That is some of the disgusting things that have happned. A man was convicted last month for a murder case for when he had murdered 4 girls. He is still in trial. That is some of the things that have been braught up to this day from the Civil Rights Movment to now the present.
