Empowerment

Empowerment is increasing strength in an individual or group in a variety of areas such as social factors, economics, and education. It is a general increase in power and quality of life. Minorities experienced empowerment due to the Civil Rights Movement that made segregation illegal. This gave minorities access to educational and economic opportunities that were previously unavailable to them which lead to empowerment of their people and improvement in many areas of their life.
