Document Analysis of the 1963 Civil Rights March Beginning in the late 19th century, state-level governments passed segregation acts, identified as Jim Laws Crow, and assigned voting restrictions requirements that rendered the African American population economically and diplomatically powerless (Davis, n.d.). The civil rights movement began, intensely and decisively, in the early 1940s, when the social composition of black America took on an increasingly urban and popular appeal (Korstad & Lichtenstein, 1988). The 1950s and 1960s were well known for racial conflicts and civil rights protests. The civil rights movement in the United States during the late 1950s and 1960s was based on political and social efforts to gain full citizenship rights for African Americans and to achieve racial equality. The civil rights movement was concentrated in the southern states of the United States, where the African American population was high and racial discrimination in education, economic opportunities, and constitutional practices was most evident (Davis, n.d.). The movement mainly focused on three topics of prejudice, namely education, social segregation and voting rights. Civil rights organizations challenged segregation using different types of events, including marches, sit-ins, boycotts, and refusal to follow segregation rules. Riots, brawls and other acts of violence became regular occurrences as increasing numbers of civil rights activists marched along the streets. in the southern states and also in many northern states. Members of the Ku Klux Klan and other whites who believed in white supremacy dispensed fear in many Southern states.
