Answer:

The main reason A-A were protesting in the 50's and 60's were for civil rights; aka equal rights. Segregation was a real problem in the US at this time, and since women were getting most of their rights via civil rights amendments, A-A's were also protesting.

Answer: The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for blacks to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. -History

Explanation: The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against blacks—they continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South. By the mid-20th century, African Americans had had more than enough of prejudice and violence against them. They, along with many whites, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades. -History
