Explain Why Civil Rights Conflict Began

I think the main reason that the reason the civil rights conflict started was because of the Civil rights law. the law made it so someone 's public establishment could not prohibit someone of a specific origin or religion from entering. Another reason i think this conflict started was because of MLK standing up for what he believed in. He thought that blacks were not treated fairly and he wanted to make a difference, through peaceful speeches and marches such as the Selma march and the I have a dream speech. Another reason this happened was the tension built up from blacks not feeling fairly treated but not being able to do anything about it.

This conflict mainly took place in the southwestern part of the united states in the 1960’s, It was a civil rights conflict. James Farmer was a key patron in this conflict starting the freedom riders. A group of people

Rosa Parks was riding a bus when a white passenger boarded and wanted her seat in the front. Rosa refused and was arrested for this crime, Rosa did not want to succumb to what she thought was unfair so she didnt making a change. Another participant that helped get the word out is judge Skelly Wright, Skelly was appointed to the U.S. District Court and with his power voiced the reality of how harsh segregation is.

I think if MLK Jr did not organize these rallies and speeches and marches this civil rights movement would have never gone through. I think this because he left such a legacy that he was given his own holiday. That holiday represents what he did to support what he believed in if he did not go through with what he did to fight for his people we would still have black schools and white schools. I think MLK Jr was the most powerful leader in this time if went up to someone and asked them who do you think of when you think of civil rights, they would answer MLK Jr 95% of the time.
