1st reason why the civil rights movement was important

I don't know the first reason, but it's important because it's about equal rights in America. Black people were treated horribly in America and were not given the same rights as white people, so black people protested against this.

Explanation:

From history.com "The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law in the United States."
