Throughout learning about civil rights, I learned a lot about the different situations going on. For example Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks all made a really big impact on the civil rights movement. They were standing up and fighting for what they believe in even though they were getting treated unfairly. So looking at their sitautions it seems like if you really believe in something you have to fight and stand up for yourself to get your voice out there about what you believe in. Without them the United States wouldnt be what it is today.
As long as theres a big diffrence in the rich and the poor there will never be equity and equality rich people look down on the poor and the poor want to blame the rich. It'll never be equity and equality with such a big difference in the way people are raised. With people raised with such diffrences they will never feel like they're equal with people being raised in a whole different way.
Now days people are still having to stand up for their rights and having to speak up, for example the occupy movement all across the United States. People believe that they can make changes by speaking up and everyone is allowed to vote now. Since the Civil Rights Movement has changed things such as allowing everyone to vote, women, blacks etc. now the United States has become a more fair place.
