Civil rights interest groups - The concerns they have involve more than civil rights, however, and encompass social welfare, immigration policy, affirmative action, a variety of gender issues, and political action.

the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF)
the National Organization for Women (NOW)
the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Although many of his movie roles and the persona he created for himself seemed to represent traditional values, Reagan’s rise to the presidency was an unusual transition from pop cultural significance to political success. Born and raised in the Midwest, he moved to California in 1937 to become a Hollywood actor. He also became a reserve officer in the U.S. Army that same year, but when the country entered World War II, he was excluded from active duty overseas because of poor eyesight and spent the war in the army’s First Motion Picture Unit. After the war, he resumed his film career; rose to leadership in the Screen Actors Guild, a Hollywood union; and became a spokesman for General Electric and the host of a television series that the company sponsored. As a young man, he identified politically as a liberal Democrat, but his distaste for communism, along with the influence of the social conservative values of his second wife, actress Nancy Davis, edged him closer to conservative Republicanism. By 1962, he had formally switched political parties, and in 1964, he actively campaigned for the Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater.

Explanation:
1. Basic civil rights were granted to emancipated African Americans during the Reconstruction era (1865–77) that followed the Civil War. But almost as soon as Reconstruction ended, white supremacy was reinstitutionalized in the South, primarily through the system of Jim Crow segregation that was legitimized by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Plessy Ferguson case (1896), which established the constitutionality of “separate but equal” facilities for Black and white people.
2. Martin Luther King, Jr., a local pastor who successfully led the Montgomery bus boycott, became the most prominent leader of the civil rights movement by advocating the principles of civil disobedience and nonviolent protest pioneered by Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi.
3. Two of the so-called Reconstruction Amendments—the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal rights to formerly enslaved people, and the Fifteenth Amendment, which guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”—were the cornerstones of legal challenges to racial discrimination during the civil rights movement.
4. The Freedom Rides of 1961 signaled the beginning of a period when civil rights protest activity grew in scale and intensity as nonviolent activists confronted Southern segregation at its strongest points so as to pressure the federal government to intervene to protect the constitutional rights of African Americans.
5. In the aftermath of civil disorder in Watts (1965), Cleveland (1966), Detroit (1967), and Newark (1967) and throughout the United States following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (1968), U.S. Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson created the Kerner Commission to identify the causes of the unrest. It cited racism, discrimination, and poverty and warned that “our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.”
6. As African Americans made social, political, and economic gains, some white Americans began, in the 1970s, to claim that they were victims of “reverse discrimination.” Since then, such claims have been used, sometimes effectively, to argue against affirmative action policies and to block civil rights initiatives.
