- Abstract
The American Civil Rights Movement had reached its success and achievements during the 1960s especially with the implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which served as a landmark for the efforts of all sides. Till that moment, it seems that the Civil Rights movement relies on the grassroots, which means that people of the white and black push the American government to solve the inequality issue through their efforts. On the other hand, Civil Rights movement began to become different at that time. To be specific, the Civil Rights movement become more politicalized after 1965. For instance, one of the core themes of the Civil Rights movement after 1965 is that whether the problem of inequality between the white and black should be solved by violence, which is against the nonviolence means promoted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and it means that a conflict has produced within the black community. Thus, through literature reviews and analysis, this paper comes to the conclusion that the American Civil Rights movement after 1965 becomes more politicalized because of the improper acts and implementations of the governments, the global environment such as the Cold War and founding of black political parties.
