Civil Rights Reflection

As a result of the Civil Rights Movement people took away lessons they had learned as they struggled for what they believed in. The most important to me has to do with what I learned and understood from the unit. All people should be treated equal even if they are different from others. Having the same rights or fighting for what they thought was right to them. Not only did violence take place with some of these movements it all started with the nonviolent acts of people wanting justice. I think it was a learned lesson because of how others would make violence over something as peaceful as a march or boycott. Although throughout the movement people started to realize what was happening was not okay.It was unfair to others and action took place. Laws were changed and slowly and through hard work groups were given justice.

America still struggles today to reach equality through equity. Unlike before race is still a big issue although it has improved dramatically. There are many stereotypes that get in the way of treating everyone equally. People judge base their own thoughts and the stereotypes that go around among the generations today. Having an open mind about other races can help lessen the stereotypes of some racial groups. Another struggle is inequality with pay in jobs. Either between sexes or positions in jobs are affected for equal pay. No one should be treated differently when coming to a job they do for a living. Even though there has been a better difference in America there are many struggles we have to work on.

One major idea that's connects to today is nonviolent protests. Many people find ways to get there points across or to make a difference using nonviolent ways. Even now officers and law do take action to break apart the protests. This shows how some things haven't changed at all. Some of the civil rights movements are still like today's some being racial, jobs , or schools we still try different ways to make a difference and make it better. Although these ideas and events carry on everyday just to make everything a lot better.
