The movement was connected with anti-colonialist movements such as with the decolonization of Africa, the communist party, the anti-war movement, feminism, and the United Black International Front. As a result, the Civil Rights movement was led by a diverse group of people from many different cultural, social, and political backgrounds. This diverse setting for the Civil Righs Movement has not been explicitly talked about very much in mainstream methods of Civil Rights education. This leads to a divided history and national identity and erases the international nature of the Civil Rights Movement that historians like Nikhil Pal Singh argues in his book, Black is a Country. It is because the Civil Rights Movement was so broad in its outreach and influence that it was able to succeed. Without the movements international focus, global equal rights would not be the level it is at today.
