What challenges did the civil rights movement face in the period 1954-1970?

Answer 1

the Civil Rights Movement is the time when blacks and whits did not get along so they fought. like how Martin Luther King Jr. wrote I Have a Dream he was talking about the civil rights for black and white people. and how Rosa parks got arrested for not giving up he seat for a white man. that was worng and the whole contry knows it to but no white people stod up for this poor lady trying to live her life. everyone should know that this is not right. and if you see this happening that a white person is harasing a black or the other way around you should tell somebody and if it is really harsh call the police. that would be the right thing. we all know it is to so be nice to all colors no matter what.

Answer 2

Two main events that took place during the civil rights movement from 1954-1979 were the "sit-in movement", and the "Bus Boycotts".

Answer 3

There were many events during the civil rights movement, so this question is a tad vague. However, some of the more important events could be the threat to march on Washington D.C. during WWII, President Truman creating his 10-point civil rights program, the 14th amendment being passed, the revoking of the separate but equal doctrine in 1954.

All of these events were very important during the civil rights movement, I believe that the revoking of the separate but equal doctrine is amongst the most important. "Separate but Equal" is inherently unequal, by destroying that doctrine it opened up the doorway for something like the Rosa Parks incident to have a nationwide effect.
