The seventies was a period of growth for many minority groups. The main four groups were, women, African Americans, the LGBT, and Native Americans. Each group fought for their rights and all of them achieved better treatment, thought in different ways and in different amounts. First, before the seventies and Nixon, women were never know for holding high-level jobs. To resolve this issue in December of 1970, President Nixon created a plan that had three steps and successfully integrated women into jobs in the Cabinet and other important departments. For the next group, African Americans, they had already been on a long path of the fight for civil rights. Now in the seventies the African American activist group called The Black Panthers came to light in the early 70’s. This group used self defense in order to gain their civil rights. Another group that worked towards gaining more rights were the Native Americans. To gain their rights, they marched “The Longest Walk” in February of 1978, which was done to protest the termination of treaties with other Indian countries. The last group that advanced towards better rights was the LGBT community. The LGBT community moved towards exposing the rest of the United States to what it was like to be gay, and to share their stories. They created a T.V program in February of 1976 that had people call in and ask questions. This string of movements was important because it further continued the work of the woman's, African Americans, and Native American’s rights and jump started the LGBT movement.
