The Civil Rights Movement was about equality for all. With this movement came many others because equality has been sought for for so many years. African Americans were not given the basic and equal protection under the law. There were the Jim Crow laws and there was still segregation in the South. Under the Jim Crow laws many measures were taken in order to prevent the African Americans from being able to vote or going into the same theatre as a white person would. The quality of education was a huge issue walking into an all black school and an all white school was like walking into two different worlds. In the North although there wasn't any segregation there was discrimination. Although some would argue that there aren't any huge differences from then and today I would argue that we as a society have made great improvements in respect to how African Americans are treated. The playing field has been leveled.
* No * Non-violent protest led to very rapid change in the USA including voting, educational, economic and social rights for blacks. The main reason for the success was the principal of non-violence. Because of non-violent protest, whites who benefited from Segregation but who were not overt racists saw the truth that their non-action was wrong.

They had all rights because they were given to them by their Creator and not by any government. Their rights were not being protected by the government who's sole purpose is to protect our rights. The government failed them and had to be changed.
