Conclusion
 Legal
segregation ended in the South as a result of the civil rights movement.
Southern Afro-Americans can vote. However, racism is still an extremely
serious social, political and economic problem in the U.S.
By
1971, more than 60% of people in the U.S. thought the war in Vietnam
was wrong and wanted the war to end. In 1973 the US signed a peace
treaty.
The
women's movement continues to gain more rights and opportunities
for women. However, in the mid-1990s, the number of women in leadership
in government and business corporations is still very low. Many
more women work for pay outside their homes, however, and many more
men are doing housework with their wives.
The
social movements of the 1960s had a strong effect on the way people
think and act, and caused changes in many laws. However, many of
the same problems they hoped to solve are still major problems in
US society.
