Why did civil rights become even more important to African Americans following World War II? (Points : 3) African Americans saw sophisticated, affluent African American families on TV and wanted that life for themselves. Jim Crow laws still prevented African Americans from full participation in American life. Separate but equal schools worked well in some places, but not in others. African Americans were receiving equal pay for their work so they also wanted equality in political life and other areas.
I believe the answer is: African Americans were receiving equal pay for their work so they also wanted equality in political life and other areas.
Their effort to demand equality in these area lead to the creation of the Civil Rights act in 1964. This law banned all people and organizations in united states to conduct discriminatory treatment based on colour of the skin , racial background religion, gender , or national origin.
