Civil Rights Movement was a very inspirational and hard faught moment in U.S. history. With people getting criticized for race and gender and being brought down by others who only thought their ways were right, lead to those who were criticized to rise up and fight for their rights. From Booker T. Washington to Rosa Parks, to Malcolm X, and to the great Martin Luther King Jr. who were just some big people out of the few who led civil rights movements in order to gain peace, rights, and to stop wrongful descrimination. We all should learn from this great moment in history and realize that racism, intolerance, and hatred are some god awful things and should never be used to harm someone because they only create more horror for those who are just trying to be part of something.
Today we still struggle to accept others and acknowledge what their true potential is. Most of it is institutional and what we have been taught since we were young, but we should still learn what is right from wrong. And to be hateful is damn wrong. We struggle with giving other races equal opportunities because of stereotypes and by how we judge them. Some of our descrimination is towards the disabled and we put themm down because something is wrong with them and we feel that they cant achieve things that others can't. But that is still the problem. They can and some will, all we have to do is put aside our issues and stop being ignorant and look at the small things you do to create unfair situations and then go to the big picture to help create equity.
Today we still have organizations who fight for peoples rights. The ideas from the movement spark up all the time whenever there is a group of people being harrased. Like the occupy or the dissability groups. More and more groups for today to protect peoples rights and make sure we all are able to gain equality. But we can only gain it by not being ignorant and being aware of what is happening in the world.
