Recommended: The civil rights movement

They are similar, the civil rights is a huge part with the law and kept Martin and Bernadette in vivid pictures of how this needs an effect for a change. They both understand how acknowledging what goes on with our government gives the picture of how things will be for everybody. From Bernadette's point of view is a little more personal with her stating events of herself in the problem, but Martin more explains how it hurts not just himself, but why and how people of the US are not alone. I think King explains how ones doings effect the world, and Devlin tells how the assumption effects herself and what is going on around her as this is happening. Northern Ireland and America are different yet coinciding, after-all we are all brothers and sisters

Hundreds of thousands of civil rights activists utilized non violent resistance and civil disobedience to revolt against racial segregation and discrimination.

It is of popular belief that the civil rights movement was organized by small groups of people, with notable leaders like—Martin Luther King, Jr, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, and even John F. Kennedy—driving the ship. That is partly correct. The Civil Rights Movement, in its truest form, was hundreds of thousands of people organizing events and protests, working together to ensure that every American—whether black, white, brown and anything in between—had the right to a prosperous and harmonious life.
