Civil Rights Enhanced Only To Struggle- Jungyeon Lee

In the history of the enhancement of black people’s civil rights, the
most important thing should be that it could be possible only through
their collaborate struggle for them. In fact, the abolition of slavery
in America was accomplished through many black people’s participation
in the Union army, leading to the victory of the Union in the civil
war. Even after then, black people remained subject to racial
segregation in daily life. Another great turn for the better showed up
with the rise of the civil right movements in the 1960s, instigated by
Martin Luther King, Jr’s demonstration in Alabama in 1955, black
people refusing to use transportation as a sign of objection to the
rule that required them to sit in the backs of buses. This led to the
pass of the 1964 Civil Rights act in Congress, the landmark to remove
segregation, which lessened racial restrictions in public facilities.
