Civil Rights Movement

The thing that I have that those who lived during the Civil Rights Movement didn't is true freedom.I have the right to speak freely, vote, pick my own choice of school, and go anywhere I please without someone hassling me. I feel that things are still being proceeded like they were back then but in different ways. It's like jail but without the bob wire : hell with no fire. You're free but to a certain extent. I mean I consider myself as a freed person but there are some problems that us black people have those times when we are being picked on just because of our race.

I think that I would have been an activist. I would have chose to be one because it's not right for black people to suffer just because someone don't like the color of their skin. I'm black and as a black person I feel that if someone can't except who you are, how you look or your style and the way you dress then it's something wrong with them.

I would have supported Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King. They are some parts of the reason why I am free. I felt that Malcolm X wanted backs to fight in what they believe in and Dr. Martin Luther King wanted all people black or white to come together and give each other respect. Both leaders wanted blaks to gain respect from different races.
