How did danny lyon help the civil rights movement?
Q. I am doing a research project on civil rights people and I got a card with Danny Lyon's name on it. I've been researching and I figured out that he's a photographer, but how did he help the civil rights movement? Anyone know?

A. Danny Lyon (born 1942), is a self-taught American photographer and filmmaker. He is also credited as an accomplished writer to accompany his photographs. He studied history at the University of Chicago, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1963. That same year, he published his first photographs working for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. His pictures appeared in The Movement, a documentary book about the Southern Civil Rights Movement.

What role does the executive branch play in the enforcement of civil rights?
Q. "The Supreme Court commands no armies. Civil Rights could not become effective until both the executive and the legislature had also put their weight behind them. How does Congress put its weight behind civil rights? How and why are Supreme Court decisions carried into effect, even though the Court has no armies ?

A. Political causes include in USA such things as KKK terror to keep blacks in the South from exercising right to vote. also Jim Crow laws. As to Indian rights, I believe economics were huge part, but political disenfranchisement also. Of course you did not specify USA. See ref #1. Covers int'l coverage of topic. Irish included. Could you be more specific on which group's rights you are interested in?
