What was the main goal of the Civil Rights Movement?

To end segregation and racial discrimination against African Americans.

Civil disobedience is peacefully disobeying unjust laws. It helped by drawing attention to injustice and forcing change.

It showed the rest of the country the injustices of segregation.
