Numbness (or a lack of sensation in various parts of the body) is often one of the first symptoms to bring a person with MS to the doctor. Numbness can occur in the face, the body, or the arms and legs, and can interfere with walking, holding on to objects, and even chewing, if the numbness affects the face.
Civil rights movements. Civil rights movements are a worldwide series of political movements for equality before the law, that peaked in the 1960s.

African-American Civil Rights Movement. The African-American Civil Rights Movement was an ongoing fight for racial equality that took place for over 100 years after the Civil War. Leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Booker T. Washington, and Rosa Parks paved the way for non-violent protests which led to changes in the law. When most people talk about the Civil Rights Movement they are talking about the protests in the 1950s and 1960s that led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Background.
