In the USA, generally speaking a civil rights activist is a person who publicly advocates that all people receive their US Constitutional rights. This can be done by forming civil rights organizations, supporting organizations such as the Civil Liberties Union. Activist campaign for candidates for office who share the same goals with regard to civil rights. It should be noted that an activist is not only associated with the Civil Rights Movement on the 1960's. It covers all current areas of issues that involve protecting the civil rights of all citizens.
