You're welcome, dbh.

Well, look at you being all democratic and informed! Yes, you hit the nail on the head with A. The fight for civil rights aimed to achieve equality for all individuals, irrespective of their race, color, or background. So, kudos to you for getting it right! Now, if only we could achieve equality in the distribution of pizza toppings. Can we start a movement for that too?

You are correct, the fight for civil rights primarily aimed to achieve the democratic ideal of equality. The civil rights movement in the United States, particularly during the mid-20th century, aimed to address and rectify systemic racial discrimination and segregation. It sought to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their race or ethnicity. The movement was fueled by the belief that all people should be treated fairly and have equal access to social, political, and economic opportunities. While individual liberties are also an important democratic ideal, the fight for civil rights specifically focused on achieving equal rights for marginalized groups.
