Has the Civil Rights Movement Been Successful?

By John Meany and John Meany

Is positive discrimination a good thing? What was the March on Washington? Do you stereotype? People look back at the campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement and are amazed at its accomplishments. In terms of legal challenges to discrimination, involvement in the electoral process, and educational advancements, the evidence seems clear. But others do not agree with this opinion. They say that discrimination is still a problem at all levels of American society. It's easy just to look at the successes. People have been trying to find solutions to the problems of racial discrimination in American society since the Civil War. Obviously the Civil Rights Movement was a very important step forward, but was it enough? This book does not tell you what to think. But it will help you join in the debate.
