They tried to get equal rights for blacks and whites so there was no separation between them. If you want a good fictionalcivil rights book i highly recommend The Helpby: Kathryn Stockett and if you're not big on books they recently made The Help a movie both are very good but the book provides more detail than they could fit into the movie.

Civil rights leaders were fighting for equal rights and opportunities for Black individuals and other marginalized groups. Their goals included desegregation, voting rights, fair housing, employment opportunities, and an end to systemic racism and discrimination in all aspects of society. They sought to dismantle the legal and societal barriers that prevented marginalized communities from fully participating in society and enjoying the same rights as white individuals.
