What accomplishments of the civil rights movement were achieved through nonviolent means?
Q. What accomplishments of the civil rights movement were achieved through nonviolent means? Why, despite these accomplishments, did some African Americans come to reject nonviolence?

A. You have the right to ask the prosecutor that is handling the case what to expect. They, of course, could be idiots and not care what you think. But probably they DO care, since you filed the complaint and they will be needing your official, sworn testimony at some point. You can also look up the local EEOC office (this is work related?) and they might be both more sympathetic to your situation and more able to get a good answer from the prosecutor. But the basics are that the case will go into the 'discovery' phase. That is when you may be questioned, under oath, by lawyers for both sides. They will also be looking for documents, company policies etc... (you may be used to help find documents, or to verify some that you wrote /… [cont.]

What are some of the cultural effects that civil rights have induced since 1865?
Q. This isn't a question about segregation or necessarily black civil rights, but the effects that the civil rights movement had on the rest (or mainstream) of society.
Asked by Bio Bada$$ - Wed Dec 17 08:18:21 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think maybe you mean 1965 and not 1865? In any case, I think the civil rights movement has had a positive impact in all aspects of society, not just for blacks. It has improved relations with whites, which in turn on a social level has opened the doors to friendships of both races, and on an economic scale improved business by allowing let's say African Americans to feel more comfortable patronizing 'white' establishments and making whites tolerant enough (about time) to be ok with them doing business together. Today it is taken for granted unfortunately (or maybe fortunately because race should not be looked at and categorized differently).
