Please help me come up with a conclusion.?
The Civil Rights Movement was a political and social struggle to gain full citizenship rights for African American and to achieve racial equality. It can be said that the Civil Rights Movement officially began on December 1, 1955 when a young woman from Alabama refused to give up her seat on a city bus. This woman’s act started a journey that changed the world forever. That woman was Rosa Parks.
On Dec. 1, 1955 Rosa Parks was heading home on a city bus when the bus driver told her to give up her seat to a white man. The bus driver pulled over and got a police officer who then arrested Rosa Parks for violating the Jim Crow laws. The next day the NAACP decided that the African American community would stop riding the city buses. Leading the boycott was a young minister named Martin Luther King Jr. For the next 382 days the African American community refused to ride the city buses. During this period the bus company lost a lot of money considering that 75 percent of its riders were African American. Finally on December 20, 1956 the buses were desegregated and the boycott was called off. Rosa Parks was among one of the first to ride the desegregated buses. Martin Luther King Jr. and his nonviolent ways had won its first great victory.
Martin Luther King Jr. was an American clergyman, Nobel Peace Prize winner and one of the principal leaders of the United States civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that one day his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of the character." His dream has come true. He has made the road for every race easier to walk on. To this we owe his our gratitude.
It is not just real people who influenced the civil rights movement it is also fictional people and literature too. Take Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mocking Bird, the plot for this book has a black man charged with raping a white woman. By assuming that the black man raped the white woman, the town showed great prejudice. Atticus tried to repair this by taking him on as his client, by showing that he could overcome the race issue. For this Atticus showed great strides in civil rights.
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is a story about a Jewish girl who had a diary kept in a secret attic, braved the Nazis, and lent a searing voice to the fight for human dignity. The legacy of Anne Frank is measureable to that of Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King Jr. Her diary was published just before the civil rights movement. The impact of her diary let young and old readers think about how the Jewish and African American treatments were a like. Anne Frank did not leave her legacy as an ode to the past but as a beacon of hope to the future a future without prejudice, a future of freedom and equality for all.
The topic of this essay is the legacy and lessons of the civil rights movement.
