The accomplishment of civil rights will ensure creation of an environment free of unfair discrimination and establishment of equality. The Civil Right Movement was a universal political movement striving for equality of every citizen before the law. The movement was a long and feeble process in many countries and most of the movements did not attain or completely attain their goals. The aim of Civil Rights Movement in USA was to ensure that all of its citizens have and enjoy equal rights. The aim of such movement was to secure equality for American blacks who were under slavery. The American blacks were deprived of their civil rights and hence the movement strived to secure status of equal citizenship for them. Black Americans were treated poorly and were allotted the worst jobs. This situation led to violation of their civil rights and therefore created a need to protect it. Social rights are the rights which ensure provision of education to every child. A social right protects individuals from vicious circle of poverty and also safeguards them from starvation.
