Elizabeth Eckford 03 Multiculturalism
Civil Rights Mobement The Civil Rights Movement was a period of time when the black people were trying to gain rights. They had them after the Civil War but were slowly taken away by Jim Crow Laws.
Summary
These laws took away their rights as an American citizen. They made it hard to vote, impossible to eat in a lot of resturaunts, hard to see alot of social events, even restrooms, and bus seats. They protested peacefuly throughout the 1950s and 1970s
and eventually got there rights back. They withstood beatings and killings but still showed that peace would over rule.
