How did the civil right moment affect African American?

Answer 1

It gave them civil rights, those rights that are due individuals who are citizens of a country, state, city. It legally brought them out of a second-class citizenship to a first-class citizenship.

Answer 2

The Civil Rights Movement led eventually to the integration of Black and White communities, but it also spawned some short lived negative things, such as black nationalism, which was the idea that black communities should stay independent but gain the same recognition by state and federal governments (For example, schools for blacks were often of a lower standard, and there were far fewer schools for blacks than there were for whites). African Americans were largely involved with the civil rights movement, with groups being formed like the SCLC, that were made up primarily of African Americans.
