I Chose This Topic Because:

I chose this topic to study because I think it was pretty important to the development of the United States. This era was a huge turning point in people's thoughts and ideas about race. I see the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement as some of the most admirable people of all time. They fought through a time that was not only tough, but very dangerous. And those people never thought twice about what they were putting on the line to get what they deserved for a large number of people. I think this topic is one that everyone should be aware of, because it is important that this time is not lost. The equality of ALL people is so important because we are all just that, people. Race shouldn't be a factor in treatment. For that matter neither should sex, class, religion, occupation, appearance, whatever it may be. Equal right opportunities are still being fought for all over the world, and hopefully the good that came out of our own country's can be an example set for other countries.
