AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.13
How did the Civil Rights Movement influence the creation of Affirmative Action programs?
The Civil Rights Movement opposed any forms of race-based policy reform like affirmative action.
The movement reduced systemic racism eliminating the need for policies like affirmative action right away.
The Civil Rights Movement focused solely on voting rights and had little effect on other policy areas such as education or employment where affirmative action was implemented.
It brought heightened awareness and legislative power to issues of racial discrimination leading to supportive policies like Affirmative Actions.
