__The Civil Rights Movement- Oral History Research __ __Reflection__ Topic- Civil Rights Movement Interview Subject- Dr. Lottie Smith

The civil rights movement was a time of hope, a time of sorrow, a time of resoluteness, and a time of braveness. But if anything, the Civil Rights Movement was not a time of unmitigated equality. Because of this, many activists and leaders rose to the occasion or winning equality, whether they were using Dr. King's civil disobedience, or Malcolm X's right of self defense and separation; they were fighting for the rights of African-Americans. Inequality has always been present, but in this tome, there was a beacon of light shed on it. The civil Rights Movement is not just one event, its a series of hundreds of events no matter how big or small. Not only was The CRM staged on the news,radio and in massive marshes in Washington, it was also staged at home, at almost every house that held any kind of factor to the CRM. They all add up to make the one revolutionary movement known as The Civil Rights Movement.
