Children really didn't have a role in the Civil Rights Movement. Some marched with parents, but it was an adult event. In the 1960's a person wasn't considered an adult until 21 so that was also a factor. Today, people are an adult at 18 and can vote this makes a difference in "movements." I was 6 years old when Rosa Parks was arrested and had no awareness of it. Children do not understand news reports and events until they are older. I was 18 when the march on Washington happened and would have loved to take part, but getting across the United States at 18 would have been impossible. The youngest members of the civil rights movement were college students who lived in the south.

How was Betty Friedan involved in the civil rights movement?

Betty Friedan, an American feminist and writer, was not directly involved in the civil rights movement. However, her book, "The Feminine Mystique" published in 1963, was influential in sparking the second wave feminist movement, which later intersected and collaborated with the civil rights movement. Friedan's work challenged traditional gender roles and paved the way for discussions on gender equality and women's rights.
