Civil Rights Movement.
by Cody Martin
Introduction
The Civil Rights movement has contributed greatly to the society of the United States. Without it we would still have a large separation between blacks and whites. The way business would run would be different. Also we as a people have a new view on life for both blacks and whites.
Emmett Louis Till
Emmett was a young black boy that had to go to Mississippi. He had a picture of a white girl that he liked to brag was his girlfriend. One day he chose to show a couple white boys the picture. They wanted him to prove that he could talk to white girls. He went into a store and on the way out said, "bye baby" to the female store clerk. He was later killed my the woman's husband and a few of his friends.
William Moore
William was a white male that believed strongly in racial diversity, even though others though he was stupid to do so. A group of men that didn't like his points of views ended up killing him as a way to shut him up. The key to his story though was that nobody did anything about it. The murderers were left alone with the blood of an innocent man on their hands.
