Women  role in the civil rights movement (blacks) ::
Women actively participated in this movement they demanded for ending the segregation  in schools and  in buses ,publicplaces etc., they were inspired by tDr.MARTIN LUTHER KING's speech "I HAVE A DREAM" . Women felt that their voice was not  being  heard  even within the  movement  which was dominated by men. In fact no woman w as s allowed to  speak  inthe famous  Washington  March. They felt that women  needed to  assert  themselves  for equality  of women .
