====Civil rights====
The [[Civil rights movement|Civil Rights Movement]] of the 1960s began to fracture in the 1970s, as social groups began defining themselves more by their differences than by their universalities. The [[Black nationalism|Black Nationalist]] movement grew out of frustrations with the "non-violent" strategies of earlier Civil Rights Activists. With the April 1968 [[assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.]] and June 1968 [[assassination of Robert F. Kennedy]], many Black people were compelled to reject ideas of negotiation and instead embrace isolation. The feminist movement also splintered from a larger push for Civil Rights in the 1970s. The seventies were seen as the "woman's turn", though many feminists incorporated civil rights ideals into their movement. A feminist who had inherited the leadership position of the civil rights movement from her husband, [[Coretta Scott King]], as leader of the black movement, called for an end to all discrimination, helping and encouraging the [[Woman's Liberation]] movement, and other movements as well. At the [[National Women's Conference]] in 1977 a minority women's resolution, promoted by King and others, passed to ensure racial equality in the movement's goals. Similarly, the gay movement made a huge step forward in the 1970s with the election of political figures such as [[Harvey Milk]] to public office and the advocating of anti-gay discrimination legislation passed and not passed during the decade. Many celebrities, including [[Freddie Mercury]] and [[Andy Warhol]], also "[[Coming out|came out]]" during this decade, bringing gay culture further into the limelight.
