Civil Disobedience And Segregation In The United States
History is marked by endless suffering and tragedies. In the forming of the United States it was established that the rich would be separated from poor and whites would be separated from blacks. And because of this throughout history there has been many injustices and suffering for African Americans and other minorities. Laws were made to keep these people far below their level. When people are oppressed it is in their nature to rebel. Those people are forced to do what they have to do to seek fair equal treatment like everyone else. Civil disobedience is the refusal to obey laws in hopes of changing government laws or policies. Civil disobedience has changed many unjust things for different groups of people it was a major key during
Women's suffrage. They used marches, boycotts, and demonstrations that got all women the right to vote. Another example of how disobedience brought progress in our world is how the LGBT community gained equal rights. The group, ACT UP, went against the rules by protesting, and marching so the government couldn't ignore them anymore. Civil disobedience has gotten the people in United States ,in this year of 2017, equal rights for all races and genders. To get here the civil rights movement had to happen, and many people like Martin Luther king jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, and Caesar Chavez took brave drastic measures to contribute to the cause. Many of these people used nonviolent measures to achieve their goal of having equality. They protested, and got other people to see how wrong the laws were, why they had to be changed and how they had to be the ones to change it. Throughout history people have gone against the bad rules to bring equality and fairness to themselves and many like them. This country is what it is today because of many people like MLK.
