Discuss the Impact of the Various Civil Rights Movements

question 29

Essay

Discuss the impact of the various civil rights movements. Have these movements succeeded in broadly expanding civil rights and equal opportunity? Does the struggle for civil rights need to progress further or has it already gone too far? Did the civil rights struggles bring the nation together or divide it into separate identity groups? Do measures designed to overcome historic discrimination become forms of "reverse discrimination"?
