Discussion: Social Change Campaigns 1945-1970s

During the post-World War II period, a diverse group of activists emerged in the United States. From Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Caesar Chavez to Gloria Steinem, Russell Means, and Jane Fonda, they inspired and mobilized the public to speak out for social change. In some cases, their agency encouraged local, state, and federal agencies to pass legislation related to the issues these activists addressed. Each leader used various strategies to address key issues that people of color, women, and other marginalized people faced.

For this Discussion, you will focus on the effectiveness of social change movements in the modern civil rights era (1945 to the 1970s).
