Answer 1

What were some of the most important minority movements in the nation’s history, and what did these movements achieve?

These are the 3 most successful movements which are; The Brown decision in 1954, The Civil Rights Act of 1964, and The Voting Rights Act in 1965. The Brown decision in 1954 was a movement for the segregation of children in public schools. They believed that it was unconstitutional for White children and black children to be separated because of race. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a movement for the rights of all people of all colors, this movement said that " No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Lastly, The Voting Rights Act in 1965. This movement was to Allow African people to have no issues voting. they did this by banning poll taxes, literacy tests, and other measures that effectively prevented African Americans from voting.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to mention the name of the unit or the name and name of the course. That is why we can not support the answer with the evidence from the course because we do not know what course is it and its content.

However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following based on our knowledge.

One of the most important minority movements in the nation's history was the civil rights movement in the 1960s, led by African American civil rights leader D. Martin Luther King Jr. What can also mention the Cesar Chavez movement to improve the working conditions of farmers in the South of the United States. These movements achieved important things and caught people's attention although I don't think the nation has achieved full civil rights for all citizens in the country. I can explain this by mentioned the injustices acts country-wide regarding segregation based on racism and the many different incidents in which white people or the police had killed African American individuals in the streets of the United States.

It is too difficult to say what is needed to achieve equality for all because if that would be the case, it has already been reached. And that is not the case. But one of the first things at hand is to educate the younger generation on the importance of integration and the respect of the civil rights of every single citizen, no matter the color of its skin, gender, or nationality.
