The document summarizes some key events and developments in the women's rights, Native American rights, and African American rights movements between the 1960s-1970s. It notes that during the Second Wave Feminism in the 1960s, women began demanding greater equality.

The African American Rights movement was advanced by figures like Rosa Parks and events like the March on Washington in 1963, though discrimination persisted
