In what ways did women contribute to political and social action and change during the Civil Rights Movement, both in leadership roles and as crucial participants?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The Civil Rights Movement in the United States was aimed at social justice and equality for African Americans. They had been exploited, suppressed, discriminated against, segregated, and subjected to grave injustices throughout the history of the United States. Although the Thirteenth Amendment had emancipated African Americans and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments had granted them rights and freedoms, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments could not be implemented successfully. Therefore, a movement was needed to secure these rights for them.
