1 answer
The civil rights movement gained momentum due to a combination of factors, including African Americans' discontent with ongoing racial discrimination and segregation, increasing awareness and support for equal rights among both African Americans and white allies, and a growing disillusionment with the status quo. Additionally, the post-war economy and changing social attitudes played a role in creating a more favorable environment for civil rights activism. Southern politicians beginning to support integration also contributed to the momentum of the movement.
