The civil rights movements was an iconic event that triggered a wide spread demonstration that led for many groups of people to gain their rights. it did not only benefit Blacks but also other minorities that feels that were treated unjustly. during the 1960's, when the civil rights movements occurred, many individuals became famous for taking actions and setting a bright example for others to follow.
Rosa park is the first icon during this movement. she started it all. she was the trigger that started the whole demonstration. kind of like the guy from Tunisia "Bu Azizi" who burned himself in public in 2010 and ignited the Tunisian revolution that took down the corrupt government of Tunisia. Rosa simply refused to give up her seat for a white man . a simple act that took courage and caused many more to refuse to give up their rights.
another example is Mohammed Ali. he threw his Olympic Gold Medal down the Ohio river in protest for the racism against the blacks and because he was refused service by a whit's restaurant because he is black.
Thurgood Marshall is an important character too. he was a lawyer that fought really hard to end segregation. he won the case " Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka" which ended the segregation in public schools.
finally, the most iconic person is Martin Luther King Jr. nothing needs to be said about him. he became an icon even outside the continent. his famous speech " I have a Dream" inspires many people all around the world to this day.
