the civil rights movement When it comes to the civil rights movement, it's inevitable to review the background of the event.Date back to the 16th century, America was ruined as the European colony, because of the lack of labor, some white people seeking nothing but profits arrested the local Africans and sent them to work in the plantations.It's unjustified treatment that makes the root of racial discrimination. Something needed to be changed. In 1960s, an African-American women, named Rosa Parks, was sentenced to be poisoned for her not offering a seat to a white man on a bus. Then, constrained depression and indignation burst out.Almost the black people fought for their civil rights in a peaceful way which their leader, Martin Luther King, led them to do so.That's the so-called Civil Rights Movement. After the movement, all Americans,including the white, converted their original perspective of the civil racial problem and the majority of the white accepted the idea of racial equality. To some extent, the movement also motivated other progressive movements.Truly speaking, much remains to be done before black Americans enjoy full equality. The minority still has prejudice against the black people. However, the pursue of equality, freedom and dignity is always impelling Democrats to fight against racial discrimination and the Martin's dream day will be confirmed in the near future.
