The Civil Rights Movement began in the 1960's with a more passive but persistent approach, sit ins and civil disobedience being the main methods of change and awareness raising. In the 70's, the focus shifted more towards a "Black Pride" awareness, this had an effect on everything from advertising to this newly liberated demographic to programing and entertainment.

The Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's a mixture of different movements of different races but primarily African Americans. The ealry black freedom struggle was more focused on legal right but the 1960's one was against injustice. Many leaders were in this movement such as The famous Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcom X. Fighting against injustice and rights the Civil rights movement was a strong baclash developed as the movement itself lost Cohesion. Not only were African Americans in the movement but also many other races such as Lationos Native Americans and even women.Making a national stand for themselves in th world.

The Montgomery bus boycott gave racial issues national visibility and was led by Martin Luther King Jr.The 1960's protest expanded and mobolized blacks facing them with direct confrontataion of the people and places that discriminated against them. The student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) took a different aproach of getting justice, nonviolently.Martin Luther King Jr. led this and togtehr emracing nonviolence they resisted employing violence at any cost. Although they used non violence the practice didnt stay for long. The SNCC embraced loyal disobedience and the non violent principles of Martin Luther king Jr. Their efforts soon began to produce fruit many cities quietly me t the students demands while other activists were conflicted upon with violence. Yet through all this they persevered.

Soon Congress granted freedom rides for members of the (CORE)congress of radical equality to integrate interstate transportation in the south.When a group of six whites and 7 blacks traveled from Washington to new orleans, whites bombed their busses and beat them with baseball bats so severly that the their faces couldnt be recognized.CORE rebuffed President Kennedy's pleas to call off the rides but when a huge mob attacked riders in Montgomery alabama Attorney general Robert Kennedy orders Federal Marshalls to restore order.In Birmingham the police were the first to inflict violence against campaigners who wanted to integrate public facilities. Martin Luthers Kings Jr. "I have a dream" speech outlined the 1960's civil rights movement. When the Selma state troopers used force to stop voting rights activists Jhonson had to call the Alabama national guard

There was no longer a unified Civil Rights movement after 1965 and the passage of the Voting Rights Act. After MLK's assassination in 1968 the movement moved away from non-violent action and more towards militaristic actions.
