Study Guide Civil Rights Social Studies, Grade 8
CIVIL
RIGHTS
The
American
Civil
Rights
Movement
developed
as
many
worked
to
ensure
equality
and
civil
rights
for
many
groups,
mainly
African
Americans.
Despite
being
citizens
in
theory,
many
black
citizens
were
not
granted
the
same
constitutional
rights
as
other
American
citizens.
Public
transportation
and
education
were
often
segregated
and
blacks
were
banned
from
taking
place
in
elections.
In
an
effort
to
reduce
segregation,
particularly
in
the
South,
many
groups
formed
in
protest.
While
many
of
these
groups
used
non-
violent
methods,
some
organizations
employed
aggressive
tactics.
Martin
Luther
King
Jr.
was
one
leader
of
the
Civil
Rights
Movement
who
demonstrated
civil
disobedience
and
non-violent
protest.
Malcolm
X
and
the
Black
Panthers
are
two
examples
of
leaders
and
groups
that
at
times
used
violence
to
express
their
beliefs.
The
Civil
Rights
Movement
was
both
supported
and
opposed
by
those
in
government.
President
Kennedy
was
a
significant
supporter
of
integration
and
civil
rights;
after
his
assassination
there
was
question
as
to
whether
or
not
governmental
backing
would
continue.
While
the
Civil
Rights
Movement
lasted
many
years,
African
Americans
were
finally
given
the
same
constitutional
rights
as
all
American
citizens.
