I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.

I am not a civil rights leader, and I don't profess to be one.

The civil rights and antiwar movements taught Americans to question authority.

It was not until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s that Congress got serious about the assignment laid out in the post-Civil War amendments.

I'm a child of the Civil Rights Movement.

The civil rights movement wasn't easy for anybody.
