How did African American Civil Rights movement address the failures of the Reconstruction?

Question

How did Brown vs. Board of Ed, Crisis in Little Rock and the Albany Movement address the failures of the Reconstruction?

Answer 1

First of all I hope you realize that the Civil War was not about slavery. It was about the continued Union of the US. However I think Reconstruction set forth the goal of racial equality with a ammendments that it passed.

The biggest question about the "failure" of these ammendments rose with the court case "Plessy v Furguson". Plessy, a man who was 1/8 black, was forced to give up his train space. The case went to the supreme court which rule separate but equal. This means that black and whites, though they must be "equal", can be separate as well.

My personal opinion on this subject is that separate but equal was a way to destroy equality unnoticed. The Civil Rights Movement was a time in which people realized that and began to fight for the rights we ALL deserve.

Answer 2

Reconstruction set forth a goal of racial equality.

However, it took most of century -- and the Civil Rights movement -- for that goal to be put into practice.
