The Nation of Islam
Historical basement Speaking about the civil rights movements in particular it is necessary to understand the subject’s definition clearly in whole. Civil rights movements appeared as political and social actions and organizations’ movements targeted on obtaining equal legal rights and responsibilities and exception of any sort of privileges based on the national, racial or religious characteristics. Civil rights movements used to utilize different, sometimes illegal or even terroristic, methods of their aims’ achieving. These processes had taken place in different countries and even on different continents. Regardless of the methods and aims of those movements we can’t say that all of them were successful or that all of them pursued clear and honest goals. But it is obvious they have changed our world, through changes in the several countries’ policies and social basements. Not in every case these changes were for good, but it is history and we should know it and respect it. Speaking about the United States of America, it appears to be a cradle for several types and expressions of civil rights movements. It is logical, because for its entire history this country had been a real melting pot for different races, nations and religions. Different people alone or with families came to America to find the better life; some of them had been brought against their willing. Well-known, that before the Civil War the society was divided into white masters and black slaves, with almost no civil rights. We will not dive so deep into the historical pictures and events, but we should remember and use these facts while learning and analyzing the current situation with civil rights movements. History is the subject where is no separated facts; all events, facts and issues are thoroughly connected and should be viewed only through these close connections.
