The Civil Rights Movement

The Civil rights movement in the United States was a decades-long movement. It was all about the goal of enforcing constitutional and legal rights for African Americans that other Americans already had the privilege of having. Some of these civil rights were ensuring of people's physical and mental integrity, protecting from discrimination such as: race, gender, sexual orientation, color, age etc.  There's a lot of modern day segregation, In Egypt if a women and a man apply for the same job and they have the same set of skills, it's more likely that they would pick the man. Same thing with universities in America, they would take in a white man rather than a black man, they do this by looking at the the names of whoever sent an application from. If they had a black name for example Tyrone vs a guy with a white name like Mark they would most likely pick Mark.
