Our Civil Rights Movement

the civil rights movement did and continues to change lives everyday, The civil rights movment not only gave people hope it set a whole new way of living life there was a countless number of people it effected, people like Malcom X ElShabazz with his strong confidence encouraged people to speak up and out about what they felt. Another person that touched the hearts of millions is Martin Luther King Jr. his I have a dream speech still inspires people today, but it was a hard road the K.K.K bombed churches for fun and they would even hang people. there was little to no legal consequnces to those who committed these hate crimes, Overall if it wasn't for the civil rights movement america would not b e as diverse as it is today in a way it open up the path for equailty.

i learned that back then colors had it very hard an d its sad that it had to be that way with things like how colored people couldn't go to the same school as whites or eat and use the restroom in the same places either, if it wasn't for people like Dr.King doing all that andthe civil rights movement and the people who helped him out. But today in the new world i learned that we all have rights and should be treated fairly and share the word that King delivered and keep his hope alive.
