african-american history
in many of these essays walker describes her involvement in the civil rights movement and explores the positives and negatives of the civil rights movement's purpose. at the time of civil rights, walker comprehends that she needs to make a change. she commences to take action by visiting several homes and handing out registration ballots so the privileged and underprivileged could vote. she met a jewish law student named mel leventhal, who gave her inspiration to write "the civil rights movement: what good was it?." many people believed that civil rights movement was dead. alice walker points out that if it is dead, she will explain why she believes that it is not. for many african americans, the civil rights movement gave them a sense of hope and freedom. she shows that whites would see the civil rights movement as being dead because they did not have to go through the struggles and sacrifices that african-americans had to encounter. they did not have to show interest because this movement was intended to help african-americans to be equal and get the same rights as white people. white people already had the rights that the law granted and african americans were still fighting for it. besides that she points out that other ethnicities were unable to understand the significance behind the civil rights movement and its importance for african americans.
