Ion, in addition, its objective was to represent in helping the discriminated blacks to have equal rights protected equally by the constitution (Norton 45).
The movements’ impact on the struggle for equality of all black persons plus a just society protected under the laws was a successful one. The American Civil war had annulled the practices of the slave trade and slave, but that did not kill discriminative and demeaning laws and cultures against blacks like racial prejudice and physical assault against the blacks.

The gay movement began in the early 1940s and late 1960s in America. These movements came as a result of state and police badgering, mistreatment and unlawful examination of gays. The gay movements were relatively small and marginalized. Their goal was to call to an end to the criminalization of any act of homosexuality, equal protection by the law, finally the end of biased knowledge about homosexuality. These movements have helped to see gays rights legalized in America today. Racial movements in America championed to an end of the marginalization of the blacks, which restricted them from using similar public utilities and facilities, live in same residential areas or suburbs or schools. Inter-race marriages were made illegal and also oppressive laws that barred the blacks from voting.
