Civil_Rights

Civil Rights Civil Rights has always been a major issue in the history of America. There have been many struggles and battles over this issue in our history. From the 1940’s on, America was segregated in many ways. African Americans had to drink from different water fountains, were not allowed to sit at the front of the bus, and there were two different schools, one for the colored kids and one for the white kids. There were many efforts throughout the years to try and get rid of this horrible segregation, but at many times it led to trouble rather then helped. There was one major group that came about to try and work on desegregation and they were the NAACP, led by educated middle class African Americans. The job of the NAACP was to try and fight discrimination in the courts and improve black employment opportunities. They very much thrived on doing this in a non-violent manner, and most of the time unfortunately it did turn out to be violent in one way or another. There were many cases that the NAACP backed up, one of most importance was Brown vs. Board of Education which decision outlawed school segregation.
