This is a complicated matter. The answer depends upon the particular country and, moreover, who is making the assessment. In some nations, the general thought is that South Africa serves as the model of a nation that overcame - rather quickly - its racist and fascist leadership. Other nations - especially those in Western Europe - feel that South Africa, as a nation, still has plenty of strides to make toward racial equality and, moreover, making reparations for past injustices.
Answer:
Beginning of Civil Rights Movement
Explanation:
Emmett Till, a 14 year old African American boy, murdered in August 1955 gave rise to a new movement in United States. He was beaten to death. The sight of his brutalized body sparked huge resistance known as the Civil Rights movement. African Americans took direct part into the fight who remained distanced till now.
The upsurge in the quest for justice heightened post Emmett's murder. His murder under racism acted as a catalyst to the liberation of Black African Americans. Till's murder galvanized and changed the course of Black resistance in America paving way for a unified movement against racism.
