Question

Explain why many blacks, especially in the north, did not believe that the civil rights legislation went far enough in promoting black freedom.

Answer 1

The main thing is that they believed that there was not enough effort to enforce the legislation that guarantees their rights.  Firstly the desegregation was not enforced and many schools, especially, in the north were really segregated.  The blacks were also paid less and did not have equal access to mortgages.
