From the e-Activity, investigate two to three (2-3) reasons why the Civil Rights Movement took a decidedly more radical turn after 1965. Specify at least three (3) events that radicalized activists in order to support your response. Lastly, compare and contrast the support for the Movement from white communities in the early 1950s to their activities by 1968, and explain the main reasons why such support—or lack thereof—made a difference in the movement for equality.
PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT & A DETAILED WHY- Min. 5 FULL Sentences : Looking at the e-Activity and this week’s reading there were many reasons that the Civil Rights Movement took a radical turn.

integration of 1954, there was a perceived sympathetic nature of the American law concerning
the demands of the African Americans for protection of their civil rights. As a result of the
court’s ruling, there was room for peaceful equality movements to commence. The ruling gave a

The American South, as well as North, experienced a wave of sit-ins, marches, freedom rides
and boycotts therein.
Public opinions polls were another major cause for radicalization in civil right
movements. The polls proved sympathy to a greater exten...
