Do you think the Civil Rights movement started and ended with Ruby Bridges?

    That's a straw man argument and assumes I think Civil Rights was just Ruby Bridges. It has no bearing on whether or not the civil rights movement was a good example of demanding enforcement of existing laws and rights.

    You need to do a lot better than that.

    When existing legislation didn't suffice, the movement was for further legislation, like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that postdated Ruby Bridges' attendance of an integrated school. And now we can bring that back to SKG requesting additional legislation because the existing legislation doesn't suffice.
