Answer and Explanation:
The civil rights movement and struggle of the 1950s and 1960s—which aimed at eradicating the racial barriers that marginalized minorities, especially blacks—manifested its goals during the post civil rights period of the 1970s era in the following major ways:
1. It helped create a platform for Shirley Chisholm to became the first African-American candidate (Democratic Party) to be nominated for the position of President of the United States in 1972.
2. In 1977, Andrew Young was appointed as Ambassador to the United Nations; it was the first time an African American was appointed to serve in that capacity.
3. In 1978, certain racial quota systems which were used during college admissions, were barred by the United States Supreme Court in order to ensure that minorities are treated fairly and equally.
