In three to five sentences, explain how the twentieth-century African American civil rights movement served as a model for other movements for civil rights.
The twentieth-century African American civil rights movement served as a model for other movements for civil rights in several ways. First, it demonstrated the power of nonviolent resistance as a means of achieving social and political change. Second, it sparked international attention and solidarity, particularly among colonized peoples and those experiencing oppression worldwide. Finally, it highlighted the importance of engaging in grassroots organizing and coalition-building with other groups that shared similar goals of achieving social justice and equality. These principles have since been adopted and adapted by many other civil rights movements around the world.
