The Civil Rights movement began in 1954 with the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, and is still going on
today. The civil rights movement was a movement that was primarily led by African Americans that started in the 1960s. African
Americans began their fight for their rights in the school system. African Americans, however, were not the only people who
struggled for civil rights during this time period.
Women also struggled
for civil rights in the 1960s. Many women had taken jobs of men during WWII, while they were off fighting the war. This
was a very strong move to prove that women could do the same things that men could do. But when WWII ended, and men started
coming back to America, they wanted their jobs back. Women got fired, and this angered women. As a result, women's movement
began in the work place.
Native Americans also struggled for civil
rights. The Native Americans were upset about being forced unto reservations, and as a result, they focused mainly on getting
their land back.
Three minority groups all in pursuit of one thing...their
Civil Rights.
