Civil Rights Movement Relfection ?

When you are able to take a stand for what you believe in, you can create a difference for your cause. The Civil Rights Movement empowered African Americans to put up a strong fight for equality. This is their natural born right and when they were denied this right, the Declaration of Independence was violated. The lesson learned from their struggle was that through true determination, you can achieve anything in the government.

In America, we battle with equity and equality. It is easier to give equality over equity because since we are in debt, we cannot provide a solution to give everyone the  privilege to get to use their rights. We do not have the funds to support the want to move further, to better our society. In our society, the basic rights given to people are divided in a sense based on your wealth status, race, and even level of intellect. We judge on these unreasonable aspects in this modern day era.

Today, we still deal with discrimination against all types of people. It isn't only racism against African Americans.How the Civil Rights Movement relates to the modern day America is the end results of it. Many of the events are carried from that time period. Take for example the case of "Brown v. Board of Education" in 1954. This case dealt with the desegregation in schools and in this case someone said "separate schools are inherently unequal" as someone presented evidence of how African American schools were extremely poor. Since that case, they slowly integrated. Now a large majority of public and private schools are integrated. Another thing that came from the Civil Rights Movement was the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was created which prohibited  discrimination in the sale or rental of housing and strengthened anti-lynching laws. Many of the events that occurred through this difficult time are still present in modern day American in some shape or form.
