Hiya!!
Can someone please help on this question:
Is there evidence that Southern blacks might have benefited more from the Civil Rights Movement than blacks living in the ghettos?
I have looked in my textbook and sources provided by my teacher but couldn't find any evidence. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me!
Thanks :D

I'd start by thinking of the benefits that the Civil Rights movement brought as a whole, and then looking at those that were more focussed on some areas than others.

The other thing to consider with this question is the relative starting points of the two groups. If one was more disadvantaged before Civil Rights, would it stand to reason that they benefitted more???

Good luck
