How Did The Civil Rights Movement Change

The Civil Rights Movement is one that changed the landscape of the United States of America. People of color were able to use their rights to make a change and have equal protection under the law. During the 1950’s and 60’s people fought and made a change, they were fighting before the 50’s, but change took time to set in. The communities used mix approaches to make a change; some were messy and some were not.

They waited forty-five minutes then left and returned the following day with two dozen more students. They returned day after day, and quietly sat there as they were being jeered, cuffed, and spat on by whites (Tindall, America, 1307). The groups helped create a Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee (SNCC) that continued the nonviolent protest by attending all white churches and
