The Movement

I think that the lesson that people learned from the Civil Rights Movement is that we can look aside our differences and all live in peace. With all of the protest, riots, and sit ins that happened it has forced the country to fulfilled the promiseThe Civil Rights Movement has allow the law to ignore our racial differences and look at us as all equals. In the past there was only whites in this country but now because of the Civil Rights Movement any kind of people with all different background can live in this country together in peace... or will we?

Even thought the law says we are equal in people subconscious we are all still a bit racist. Most of the people inn the world still would rather hang out with their own race than others not because they are conscious racist but because people naturally don't like things that are different from themselves. This cause institutional racism where people are unconscious that they are racist, for example in some schools the majority of the race in SRC are a specific race. Another problem is that the government don't address the problem that we have not reached equity. Even if all the people are treated the same they might not get the same outcome. The fact is the government just assume that everyone is in the middle class. Because of this the people in the lower class will get the short end of the stick and have trouble living.

If it wasn't for the Civil Rights movement the world will be much different. Because of the protest and the lawsuits we will be still segregated. The Civil Rights didn't just help the black but all of the races.

I agree with what you are saying. You give good points and Facts about the Civil Rights.It got me actually thinking about subconcious racism. Also how almost everyone has some of it in them. Sadly to say we dont live in a world that everything is equal and fair but hopefully one day it will change and i tihnk it will.The Arican Aericans had gone through a tough time but they overcame it and so shall we!
