The Civil Rights Movement talks about the racism directed towards African Americans in the South after the abolition of slavery and the Civil Rights movement to end segregation in the South.
answer the following questions:
What are some of the ways that blacks experienced institutional racism, particularly in the South? What were some the specific discriminatory behaviors practiced against blacks (remember we talked about specific discriminatory behaviors in class)? Why do think the Civil Rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. was successful at ending segregation? Do you think racism today is similar to some of the racism you saw in the film?
