Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader. His inspiration was Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (or Gandhi) of India. Ironically, they were both shot dead even though both of them proponents of peace (Gandhi in 1948, Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968).\n\nAnother famous civil rights leader, was Malcolm X. Malcolm X advocated black pride, economic self-reliance, and identity politics. He ultimately rose to become a world renowned African American/Pan-Africanist and human rights activist. He too was assasinated in 1965.

It may have been 40 years since the civil rights movement, but there hasn't been any wandering around in the desert ever since, and Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't lead the non-wandering in the desert, as he was busy being dead.  So no, it isn't a copy of the exodus, and Martin Luther King was simply Martin Luther King, Jr. and not a reincarnation of Moses.\n\nAnd sure, there has been a large group of the lost tribe of Manasseh  being found in Ethopia and they're black, but they've found other groups of some of the "lost tribes" in China, Russia, etc., so its obviously not about race.  I really don't think God is racially prejudiced.

Compassion without Passion is a balm for the wounded, but ultimately can't shake things up enough to actually create radical and lasting change. \n\nI think all three of these people were deeply compassionate -- but their passion for tearing down walls of injustice maybe wasn't quite as empowered and awakened as their compassion. \n\nNow Martin Luther King, on the other hand, was equipped with both -- and the results of his work are proof of that. He inspired a revolution in the hearts of a collective group, and in doing so actually pushed human evolution forward. \n\nBlessings

"The day history books changed forever was when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama, December 1, 1955, the day most historians consider the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States. The brave, quiet woman, known as "quiet strength," was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere. Rosa was 42 when she refused to give up her seat and the bus boycott began."

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Devanagari: मोहनदास करमचन्द गांधी; Gujarati: મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી; October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India, and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer and perfector of Satyagraha - the resistance of tyranny through mass Civil Disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence) — which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).

I don't believe that there were any Civil Rights acts enacted during those years.  1965 was a huge year for the Civil Rights Act.  Some prominent people in the Civil Rights movement during 70-73 would be Jesse Jackson & Gloria Steinem.

In the 1960's people did many of the same things that you do today.  We had all of the advantages of modern times however we were not so sexually promiscuous.  Abortion was not legal, and the pill was still in the experimental stages.  In the late sixties that changed and coupled with a sudden onslaught of marajuana there came about a period called free love when many people experimented with new found sexual freedom and a sub culture of drug experimentation began.\n\nMore people read avidly the Internet was far from  available and really would not be used by just everyone for many more years.  I just read that someone said we listened to the radio... we listened to music on the radio but dramatic programs on the radio ceased when television became popular shortly after WWII by the time the sixties rolled around pretty much everyone had color tv.\n\nWe debated a great deal there were many social changes in the making.  Mom's were making the move into the job  market and it created great angst in many homes when women left there homemaking chores for jobs that paid actual money.  \n\nThere was a war in SE Asia and we were all very anxious about our friends and loved ones there.  In fact it can be truly said that anyone who had not been there had someone they knew or loved who had.  It was incredibly frightening we watched on the news every night afraid that we would not see our loved one and afraid if we did it would not be the kind of sight that we wanted to see.\n\nMeanwhile at home there was huge social change as racial equality became the issue of the day.  Not everyone on either side rapidly embraced the changes as there was fear coming at this issue from every direction.  Bad as things are now huge strides have been made and we applaud them many of us risked a great deal to make these changes happen.\n\nSocial life did not revolve around anyone thing, not everyone went to church in fact it was the beginning of a time when folks who had gone to church started to fall away people were disillusioned with all the distruction caused in the war and many blamed God.\n\nThere was a new awakening with regard to the enviornment we wanted to leave the world a better place for our children and we had huge debates on how to make that happen.  There were more young people in the United States than old people a result of the post  WWII baby boom.  The country for a time put all of its emphasis on what to do with all those young folks.\n\nI hope that helps there's tons more.  I was born in 1946 I remember the sixties well and I can tell you this.  There were such wonderful and diverse things happening that it would be impossible to put them all here.  Please don't use blanket statements when you refer to the people of that era it would be as inaccurate to do so as it would to say that all people living today like hip hop.  It was a large world with a huge population even then and if we had anything in common with each other it was that we were all doing our own thing.  Much as people do today.
