What is the lasting legacy of the Civil Rights movement on America?
Answer:
Overt forms of racial discrimination and government-supported segregation of public
facilities came to an end, although de facto, as opposed to de jure, segregation
persisted in northern as well as southern public school systems and in other areas of
American society. In the South, anti-black violence declined. Black candidates were
elected to political offices in communities where blacks had once been barred from
voting, and many of the leaders or organizations that came into existence during the
1950s and 1960s remained active in southern politics. Southern colleges and universities
that once excluded blacks began to recruit them.
