The civil rights movement of the 1960s did contribute to the emergence of business and professional interest groups. As African Americans fought for equal rights and access to economic opportunities, it brought attention to the importance of diverse representation in business and professions. This led to the formation of interest groups advocating for equal employment and business opportunities for marginalized communities.

Dissatisfaction with the focus on integration
One factor that did not promote segregation or limit the rights of Black individuals was the Civil Rights Movement, which actively sought to dismantle discriminatory practices and advocate for equality. This movement, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, led to significant legal and social changes, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate segregation and protect the rights of African Americans.
Non-violent civil disobedience.
As a result of the book "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin, there was increased awareness about racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. This led to actions such as civil rights activism, protests, and changes in policies to address racial inequality. The book sparked conversations about racial prejudice and the experiences of African Americans, contributing to the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
The civil rights movement led by the Freedom Riders and Martin Luther King, JR.
African-Americans began to have a voice in the white-dominated press during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, when journalists like Ida B. Wells and Civil Rights activists brought attention to racial injustices through various media outlets. This led to the integration of African-American perspectives and voices in mainstream media.
