After learning a unit about civil rights I came to realize that the life we are living right now is a gift from the courageous people who took part in the civil rights movement. Its a privilege for us to live this life we are living right now. To get the rights to which people fought over are being easily handed to us, to which we should thank them for. Activities from the civil right moments lost their life fighting this battle for equality and had to go through a lot of troubles and humiliation.
African Americans were discriminated and treated like they are some kind of a disease and people wouldn't want to be near them. After a long period of time with all these nonsense they finally stood up for themselves with the help of leaders like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King they began this movement. They did all they could marches, protest, boycotting.etc. to make this happen and they were successful.
Me myself being a brown skin think that if I was born during the civil right era my life would be a total misery because of all the discrimination and segregation. I feel like civil rights can be connected to this present because now people know how hard it was for their grandfathers,great grandfathers to live and they don't want no one to go through that. So, that's why they have stopped discrimination's. However, there are people who believe in segregation's and discrimination such as KKK. It would be best if we just ignore their ideas and do the right thing.
