What Is The Impact Of Injustice On African American's Rights Today

The rights of African Americans in the United States has not always been the way it is today, and the United States had to go through a lot of hardship and struggle to get to where we are today. The African Americans had to go through protests, beatings, and numerous deaths to get to the state of equality currently present in the U.S.
Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the biggest aspects of the movement, and he went any and everywhere in the U.S. that faced injustice saying “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”(letter from birmingham jail) He not only cared about his own equality, but everybody's, and he believed he could achieve that through non-violent protests.
For a major part of the Civil Rights Movement, they had

stuck with the idea of nonviolent protests, but these never changed anything, it just led to many protesters being killed. Near the beginning of 1967 they began realizing this and the minister of defence of the black panthers released a statement and are quoted saying “The time has come for black people to arm themselves against this terror before it is too late.” this was a big turning point in the African american movement. For the first time, they were truly being heard.
Through a lot more fighting, and protests, they were able to convince america that a change needed to occur. Today it seems the movement is over but it is far from it. Yes, African Americans in the U.S. have more rights than before but a lot of things are very much the same. Dylan lyon was a photographer for the civil rights movement, and was struck when he saw a news image from the racially torn suburb of Ferguson, Mo., showing four police officers arrayed in a phalanx. In part, it was because Mr. Lyon had taken a picture in 1963 in Birmingham.(new york times)
The civil rights movement helped the U.S. take a big step in the right direction, but has not yet met its goal, and though we are still greatly improving today, it is unknown if we will ever, as humans, be able to meet full equality.
