Civil rights happened because youth got involved. The youth stood up and helped to break the pattern that their parents had got accustomed to living. The next generation has to take that stand for whatever it is, socially, that they are involved in.

What ultimately happens is that they become the parents of what we know of as the civil rights movement and ultimately have so much to do with where the Latino community is today and without them in that crossroads it probably wouldn't have happened.

I'm a child of the Civil Rights Movement.

I had thought about becoming a civil rights lawyer, but I gave it up.

Civil rights and women's rights and gay rights all take time in this country.

I feel outraged that many years after the civil-rights movement, we are still living with racial problems.
