| | At Home: Select one of the following movements you chosen movement should be in the title of your discussion post, Civil Rights Movement. What conditions existed which created the need for this movement? I feel here in the United States where World War #2 had impact on Europe by destroying many homes, businesses and people's left homeless. In the mid 1950's- 1960's where the Montgomery Bus Boycott and where the Civil Rights Movement was a struggle by African Americans in order to achieve equal rights, voting rights, freedom of speech, equal opportunity for employment, housing, discrimination and rights for all citizens. What did this movement accomplish? In my opinion, the Civil Rights Movement accomplished voting rights, equal rights, against racial segregation and discrimination, workplace and 1964 major impact for Civil Rights Movement in the United States through the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, and where Dr. Martin L. King Jr fought for people's rights. What was the United States Government's response to this movement? Sometimes I wonder does the Governor make his decisions or does someone else in office makes his decisions for him, look how things are happen in the world today and what's been resolved, example, every time we watch television it something concerning war and Trump still haven't resolved it, look at guns and how easy it is for people to get one and I said that for a point, now look back at the movement if he haven't solved the issues then about what happen in the world how can he act or response to the movement now in order for it to be fair and equal for all Americans? What is an issue that remains today? We still have discrimination in Americans and wars happen everyday, Chapter 11 where movement began 1950's of African Americans and black's didn't have the same rights as white's that wasn't right, (2014) Barnes and Bowles even though laws have pass but it still issues on our "race."
