In your opinion, when did the Civil Rights Movement begin?

For some of us, the Emmett Till murder in 1955 marked the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, in fact, it is where our textbooks for the semester begin. Others argue the Brown decision with it’s ruling “that separate but equal has no place in American society” signifies the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. Still others argue that Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott launched the movement. Recently historians have written about a long Civil Rights movement extending back to the 1920s and A. Philip Randolph’s founding of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the demand for Fair Employment Practices Commission in the 1940s. Remember some have classified this as the Modern phase of an even longer movement stretching back to 1619 or 1865. In your opinion, when did the Civil Rights Movement begin? Draw from your texts, lectures, discussions, and prior knowledge to make an argument about when the Civil Rights Movement began. Why did, even I, begin the course with the proposed 1941 March on Washington and the Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work Campaigns rather than Money, MS, Montgomery, AL, or the 1963 March on Washington?
