Civil Rights Movement: Difference between revisions

 

In the months leading up to the 2008 presidential election, many looked at the election as the ultimate litmus test towards whether or not the civil rights movement had succeeded, as the idea of Americans having the chance to elected an African-American to the Presidency would be the ultimate way to see if the movement's successes had any impact upon the generations who came afterwards. Needless to say, [[Barack Obama]]'s election proved that the movement did indeed have its desired impact - but not without a lot of complaints, mostly imagined, from many quarters (including a sustained attack on his eligibility to be President carried out by his successor, [[Donald Trump]]), so the Civil Rights Movement still has a long way to go before reaching complete equality.

* Robert (Granddad) Freeman of ''[[The Boondocks]]'' had an involvement in the movement. He still held a grudge against Rosa Parks for "stealing his thunder" (he was sitting next to her on that bus and likewise refused to give up his seat, but the bus driver was only offended by Rosa's unwillingness to move, not his), and once showed up late to a march because he knew they would bring out the hoses and figured he'd bring a raincoat.
