It not only changed the fate of black Americans, but also endowed them with equality, freedom and dignity to a great extent, and also profoundly influenced the lives and concepts of all Americans. Specifically, the civil rights movement promoted the federal government to carry out the reform of eliminating apartheid, and finally eliminated the open white supremacy and won civil rights for blacks. It has transformed the United States from a society that tolerates racism and discriminates against blacks to a society that recognizes that every citizen enjoys equal rights regardless of color and race, thus profoundly changing people's thinking. Not only that, the civil rights movement also inspired the struggle for democracy and freedom in American society in the new period. The modern women's movement, the anti-war movement, the new left movement and the rights struggle of other ethnic groups are all promoted and influenced by the civil rights movement.
