After World War II, changes could be seen everywhere. Women worked in factories alongside men. Blacks and whites worked together, although minorities were still given the worst jobs and were not treated equally. The pay was different between them and they were not allowed to hold the same positions as white people. Many black people lived with it and were happy to be able to work in factories and thus earn more money. They were grateful to have a job that didn't require them to work in the fields all day under the hot sun and barely earn money for their family. But there was a group or part of the black people who were unhappy with the small changes. they wanted to have the same freedoms and rights as white people and wanted to be on the same line. Some of them wanted to achieve equality peacefully while others were willing to harm and kill in revenge for the mistreatment they had suffered as slaves. It brought violence to the streets of America and bloodshed with it. Several movements arose during this post-war period. Two of these movements had similar goals, but the way they planned to achieve them was very different. One of these movements was called the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. This movement was made up of students who wanted to peacefully bring change to our society. The other movement was called Black Power. Some people who did not like how quickly the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee or SNCC was trying to bring about equality broke away from SNCC and created the Black Power movement. they said that violence was the only way to repay white people for the harm and pain they had caused them. The only ... middle of paper ... does not support their radical methods. those who followed Martin Luther King's nonviolent approach to solving their problems and achieving total freedom were able to go further and accomplish more. Overall, with all the movements, people began to think about the situation that existed between the different races of the Nation. Little by little, things began to change and more freedoms were obtained for everyone. many people died or lost something dear to them, but both sides managed, to some extent, to accomplish what they worked hard for.
