Final Reflection
As you can see, the Civil Rights Movement was a complicated, even sophisticated movement that was viewed quite differently by people of varying backgrounds and beliefs. There were not just two sides to the issue - it was not simply a "black or white" issue - but rather one that included a number or "grey" areas. Now that you have viewed this important and defining time in American history from multiple sides, let's revisit your original thoughts on the nature of the Civil Rights Movement and the people who were involved.
