How did the struggles of black women during the Civil Rights Movement compare to the struggles of black men?

Answer: Black women were more discriminated against than black men.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Movement was an attempt of African American people to combat racial discrimination. It took place during the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. Although slavery was abolished, black people were still discriminated against.

When it comes to black women, their endeavors in this fight for equal rights were often overshadowed by men's. It was not unusual that black men got more attention, as they are often given more credit for their civil rights accomplishments even nowadays. Black men, for instance, were the first ones to be granted the right to vote, upon passing of the Fifteenth Amendment. Black women, however, did not get this right until the Nineteenth Amendment was passed. During the March on Washington (1963), for instance, civil rights leaders who were women were neither invited to march nor did they speak to the crowd. As black women continuously experienced discrimination, they founded a feminist movement in the 1970s.
