Answer:

I'm not super well versed with civil rights origin but I can try

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil Rights and the Black Lives Matter movement both share the same root idea about the ability for everyone to be equal. The civil rights era was battling segregation, and the ideas of separate but equal, and one of their main goals was to eliminate the separate part of that idea. Back then, majority of society didn't see a problem with this, and African American communities had to take action and show society why integration of society was essential. Today, BLM is fighting against systemic racism, and the ideas of racism that are visible, but also less visible. They are fighting against unequal treatment, police brutality, and more. The Civil Rights Movement and the BLM movement both share essential ideas of equality and justice for all, but more specifically, for African American communities. And by acting against injustices through protests, raising awareness through social media, they both work towards a better and more equal society.

Hope this is okay!
