why did the Civil Rights Movement begin? What are some major things that changed due to the movement?

The Civil Rights Movement began because of the lack of human rights equal to Caucasians. Some major changes are greater social and economic mobility for African-Americans across the nation and racial discrimination is now banned, greater access to resources for women, religious minorities, African-Americans and low-income families.

The Civil Rights Movement began 1954 and ended in 1968.
