The civil rights movement

Image
 The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that mostly took place in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States, with the goal of granting Black Americans equal legal rights. Although the Civil War ended slavery, it did not stop prejudice against African-Americans, who continued to suffer the devastating impacts of racism, particularly in the South. By the mid-nineteenth century, Black Americans had had their fill of bigotry and brutality. They, together with a large number of white Americans, rallied and began a two-decade-long campaign for equality.

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in a motorcade past Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas, shortly after noon on November 22, 1963. President John F.

The official purpose of this Berlin Wall was to keep so-called Western “fascists” from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state, but it primarily served the objective of stemming mass defections from East to West. The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the head of the East German Communist Party announced that citizens of the GDR could cross the border whenever they pleased. That night, ecstatic crowds swarmed the wall. Some crossed freely into West Berlin, while others brought hammers and pick and began to chip away at the wall itself. To this day, the Berlin Wall remains one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall: The Partitioning of Ber...
