The correct responses that highlight the influence of the Civil Rights Movement on other social justice movements in the United States are:

  1. It inspired other marginalized groups, such as women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Native Americans, to advocate for equal rights and protections.
    This statement accurately reflects the ripple effect of the Civil Rights Movement, as its strategies, principles, and successes motivated various groups to seek their own rights and recognition.

The other statements are incorrect because:

  • The Civil Rights Movement did not lead to the immediate end of all discriminatory practices across all states; while it made significant progress, many discriminatory practices persisted even after landmark legislation.

  • The movement did not solely focus on African American rights; it highlighted broader issues of equality that resonated with other marginalized communities.

  • The passage of laws resulting from the Civil Rights Movement did impact public attitudes, helping to foster a greater acceptance of diversity over time, despite there still being considerable challenges.

Thus, the first response is the accurate representation of the Civil Rights Movement's influence.
