how successful was the civil rights movemnet?

Question

long answer if possible

Answer 1

It accomplished its purpose. Look at the level of equality in our nation now. I didn't even realize there was any difference between me and my African American classmates until I was in 5th Grade, and I live in the South.

The bigger question should be does it still need to be ongoing. Living in the home town of Jesse Jackson, I can tell you how much he's disliked around here. Men like him and Al Sharpton have taken the original, good purpose of the movement and corrupted it to suit their ends.

Answer 2

I would say some- what successful, but I feel there is still room for improvement. There are still a lot of people out there who are ignorant to the fact that we are all humans and deserve to be treated equally no matter what our sex, race, sexual orientation, or religion. I personally would love to see more diversity in our country. I work for a company that claims to celebrate diversity, but I still constantly see people judging each other for their skin color, their clothes, their hair, or even for having tattoos and piercings. If people could only realize that it is what is on the inside that counts. As long as you are a good, honest, hard working person you should get treated with respect and dignity! Very Good Question by the way! Happy Holidays!

Derek Jeter A-Rod Donovan McNabb Randy Moss Bill Cosby Will Smith Condoliza Rice Colin Powell....10,000,000 black Americans living an upper or middle class life.

Before the civil rights movement there were few if any black athletes, NONE in the movies or TV unless they were maids, not ONE black held a national political office,elected or appointed........heck, before 1964 blacks couldn't even use the same public rest rooms as white people in the south.....the rest stop on I-95 just outside Baltimore, 1964:.bathrooms were Men, Women and Colored.........

so you tell me........
