civil rights movement
Any of a number of movements against systemic oppression in various different countries, but especially.
Seen in the wild
It's wild how many people apparently think all we had to do to stop MAGA forever was just arrest a few of the leading figures. Was the civil rights movement instantly shut down by MLK getting arrested? That's not how…
The entire segment hit me right in the gut. I don’t think most Americans realize that the Civil Rights Movement is being demolished, and what that means.
medium.com/@lukas.unger... no reason to refute it. it has always been so. liberals hate every war except the current one, liberals love every civil rights movement except for the current one.
that's what made the civil rights movement so successful when the south said "no," they all just packed up and went home surrender your way to victory
The Voting Rights Act is the product of the literal blood, sweat, and tears of activists from the Civil Rights Movement, and allowed Black Americans and other people of color to have the representation we deserve.
