Activists in one civil rights movement often inspired and influenced activists in other movements in the U.S. and Europe. For example, the African American civil rights movement of the 1960s, led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., influenced the women's rights movement, the LGBTQ rights movement, and the anti-war movement in the U.S. Activists in these movements drew inspiration from the strategies and successes of the civil rights movement and applied similar tactics in their own struggles for social justice. Additionally, the civil rights movement in the U.S. had a ripple effect in Europe, inspiring similar movements for racial equality and social justice in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The interconnectedness of these movements created a sense of solidarity and shared struggle among activists fighting for various forms of rights and equality.
