The social movements of the 1960s questioned how the “inalienable rights” of all Americans were being actualized in this country. According to Gosse (2008), if we are all created equal, then everyone in this country should have:
- The right not to be segregated and despised because of your color
- The right to vote and be represented by someone like yourself
- The right to walk down the street unmolested, without fear of violence
- The right to protest without being labeled a subversive
- The right to equal access to education, housing, and jobs without regard to race or gender
- The right to love whom you want, when you want, and how you want
- The right to be left alone, to privacy, and to have control over your own body (p. 2)
Choose one of these seven rights mentioned above and explain how one key event from the 1960s contributed to this right being honored more in our society.
