Detailed Solution

The Civil Rights Movement in the USA was inspired by the Civil Disobedience Movement of India. People protested in non-violent ways, like writing and spreading awareness about racial discrimination. Athletes like Tommie Smith and John Carlos highlighted the issue of racism in the Mexico Olympics of 1968. Their co-athlete, Peter Norman, who was white and Australian, supported them. They wore black gloves and socks without shoes while receiving medals and tried to draw international attention to the racial discrimination in the USA. Women participated highly in the movement as activists, advocates, educators, writers, etc., and led the organisations contributing to the cause of the civil rights movement.
