Civil Rights Movement....

The Civil Rights Movement was a worldwide political movement for equality in 1955- 1968, in Southern states. Rosa Parks was known as the mother of the civil rights movements. She fought for rights, because they were racist and wanted her to sit in the back. In 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the youngest man to receive a Nobel peace prize. The Jews were more involved in the civil rights movement then any other white people were.
