What Is The Civil Rights Movement
The civil rights movement has made great strides in our country since the 1960’s, but the U.S. still needs to improve racism and police brutality in our country. Less than fifty-five years ago, our country required blacks to use separate bathrooms, kept them from voting with poll taxes, and didn’t allow them to attend universities. When the Civil Rights movement of 1964 was passed it made these things illegal to do, however, racism continues. The African community felt a need to express their “Black Power” which just made things worse by promoting the differences between blacks and whites. President Johnson tried to solve some problems of the civil rights movements with the Great Society programs which have improved equity amongst all races
