The two correct goals that motivated the civil rights movement were:
1. Ending segregation by eliminating "Jim Crow" laws: Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern United States that enforced racial segregation and discrimination. The civil rights movement aimed to challenge and dismantle these laws, which segregated public facilities, schools, housing, and other aspects of society based on race.
2. Protecting the equality and full citizenship of African Americans: The civil rights movement sought to ensure that African Americans were granted equal rights, protections, and opportunities as full citizens of the United States. This included advocating for voting rights, desegregation, equal employment opportunities, and an end to racial discrimination in various aspects of life.
