Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) The fight for fair treatment for all Americans regardless of race.

The civil rights movement took place in the US throughout the 1950's and 1960's. During this time, African American citizens faced constant threats of violence and discrimination in American society in general. There were separate public facilities for black and white citizens along with laws that hindered black citizens ability to vote. These factors helped spark the civil rights movement. This movement used different forms of peaceful protest in order to help African Americans to be treated equally from a social, political, and legal viewpoint.
