The Civil right movement
Segregation and discrimination was very bad in the United States between whites and African Americans. It was especially bad in the 1960's. There was segregation everywhere, in restaurants, schools, bathrooms, even drinking fountains! Discrimination was especially bad in the south of the U.S. People would treat African Americans like they were nothing. But in reality, we all bleed the same color. We aren't that different from each other, it may look like it on the outside but in the inside, we are all the same people. Whites in the south didn't realize that and they treated African Americans very poorly. If it weren't for leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., segregation still could be very bad in today's world.
