The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1940s.

the 60s civil rights movement achieved several important legal objectives. Does this speech focus on specific objectives or gene
elena-s [515]

The correct answer is: "specific objectives".

The civil rights movement was able to achieve equality and integration in practice in the 1960s, by the enactment of legislation which enforced the equality provisions and rights that were already contained in the Reconstruction amendments. These are the 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution, that were issued in 1868 and 1870 respectively.

A very important specific objective was consecuted by the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. It forbids racial discrimination in voting, after many years in which equality was not ocurring in practice, specially due to the approval of Jim Crow laws in Southern states, that circumvented the provisions of equality contained in the Reconstruction amendments.

Another achievements came from the decisions of the US Supreme Court. For example, the Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision issued by the US Supreme Court in 1954, which  declared segregation to be unconstitutional and overturned the former decision reached in the Plessy v. Ferguson judicial procedure, that allowed segregation under the principle "separate but equal". It was considered a major victory connected to the Civil Rights Movement as it set the path for integration too.
