Help me!!!! write a paragraph in which you make an argument either that the civil rights movement has completed its work, or that more work needs to be done. Remember to give evidence and use specific examples. Don't forget to make smooth transitions between each of your points. I just need some things that the civil rights movements did to help the US and a few things that it could still improve on
when is this due?
before the end of the semester but I would like to finish it by tonight

United States History has been a history of struggle: struggle to overcome opposition and oppression; struggle to gain rights of access and opportunity; struggle to gain freedom. That struggle is clearly visible in the case of African-Americans and their struggle for legal, political, and social equality. Following the American Civil War, blacks were given equal protection under the law, rights of citizenship, and the vote. Despite having these freedoms granted legally, blacks were continually denied equal access and opportunity in the United States. In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the Supreme Court legalized the separation of blacks and whites in all facets of social life from train cars to schools. The legalized segregation of the races resulted in limited opportunities and unequal access to education, employment, and representation. It was not until 1954, after two World Wars, that the Supreme Court would reverse that decision in Brown v. Board of Education. This Supreme Court ruling marked the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement that emerged in the United States, and played a significant role in public opinion and policies until the end of the 1960s.
