You have been asked to write an essay about the outcomes of the Civil Rights movement. Which of these is the most effective topic sentence for a paragraph in this essay? There were two main results from the March on Washington: it gave a national platform to the voices of African-Americans who wanted reform and it created momentum for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Barry Goldwater, a senator from Arizona who would later run for President of the United States, said in opposition to the Civil Rights Act: "You can't legislate morality." A group of thirteen Freedom Riders boarded a bus in Washington D.C. and headed for New Orleans, Louisiana, on May 4, 1961. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964, in Washington, D.C.
