Civil Rights Movement The Civil Rights Movement in the 1950’s and 1960’s was necessary because of the fact that African Americans were being denied their rights as citizens during that time. This was mostly seen in the Souths system of legal segregation.
The Civil Rights Movement helped with many issues. The first would be Jim
Crow Laws. The Jim Crow Laws made it so that blacks couldn't marry a white person, black and whites had to use separate facilities, black and whites used separate schooling, and etc. The Civil Rights Movement took this away allowing blacks and whites to use the same facilities, schools, mixed marriages, and etc. Another is Brown
V Education. This was a case in which the court ruled state laws making separate schooling for black and white students. Blacks did not learn the same, got the old books, and etc. The Civil Rights Movement helped with letting blacks get the same education as whites had. Another was Emmitt Till. Emmitt Till was beaten and killed at the age of 14, by two white men, that say they were trying to teach him a “lesson”. He went into town and bought something, he then handed the lady his money instead of putting it on the counter to let her grab it. He said a remark, in which her case was
“bad”. That night, she went and told her husband about what had happened. Her husband and his half brother had went to the house he was staying in, and kidnapped him. They then took him to an abandoned shack and beat and shot him right in the head. His murder affected the Civil Rights Movement extremely. At his funeral, his mom wanted them to leave the casket open so that the media and many others could see what they had done to her baby. Another is Little Rock Nine. They sent nine blacks to
Little Rock Central High School, which was an all white school. Many whites were rude to the nine black kids and spat at them, walked behind them and yelled “lynch um”, and many other mean
