Civil Rights Movement

b)The Civil Rights Movement was to restore the voting rights of the African Americans. It was also to obliterate the racial discrimination based on races as the African Americans were always humiliated since their skin colour was black. They made protest to the government and became arrogance towards the government authorities and showed civil disobedience. They felt that thier privileges were much lower than the normal Americans.

c)On first of the December, 1955, the "mother" of the Civil Rights Movement, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white American. She was then accused of her disorderly conduct. Some of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement organised riots to demand for a better bus transportation system.

In 1961 to 1962, some Civil Rights Movement activists had criticised the King personally. Therefore, the SLCC created a campaign and was assisted by the King to capture those activists. But the goals were not specific enough, and it was disrupted by a cunning local police chief.

In 1964, President Johnson signed a Civil Rights Act which banned other people for making racial discrimination based on races, religion, etc. And the law was enforced by Attorney General.

d)President Lyndon B.

e)The privileges of the African Americans were as equal as normal Americans' privileges.

f)The period in the novel was most probably before the era of the Civil Rights Movement as Tom was proved to be innocent clearly but still he was convicted and later killed. And the difference in privileges between normal Americans and African Americans was crystal clear.
