Answer:

a movement in the 1950's lead by some of the most well known black figures in America, notably Martin Luther King Jr. This movement was originally meant to end segregation in schools but then lead to many more problems black people faced in other sections of society. The American economy was booming and so this rise in living emphasised a gap between races which started to gain traction.
