Civil+Rights-kh

The Civil Rights has granted African-Americans many rights. African Americans now have the right to vote, hold positions of power in the government, as well as many other rights. This struggle has made many people look at African-Americans from a totally different perspective than then would before the struggle. Try to imagine being a descendant of thousands of years of royality and finding yourself reduced to the bondage of slavery.Now imagine one day after a big war being set free from enslavers with no where to turn. Can you visualize a hundred years later still struggling to obtain basic rights and privilages? This has been the history of African-Americans in this country. All in all the Civil Rights helped to change African Americans life in the US.
