Civil Rights: Privileges given to all Americans, allowing them equality, freedom and protection.
This picture truly captures how both African Americans and Whites fought about race equality. One with violence, held threatening guns, strapped to knives, pointed at the protesters, while the other side fought mostly with peaceful protests, though they were harshly discriminated against. Both sides were extremely passionate. "I AM A MAN" signs help remind other citizens that no matter what race, ethnicity, or religion, you are a human and deserve rights. It persuades the cops and military personal to think twice about their actions against "colored" men, because they are men as well.
