Short Term affects

Short term affects were that the March raised awareness that African Americans needed Civil rights. Another short term was that President JFK got on the civil rights side, and began trying to get civil rights. Also it showed that things can be accomplished, in a nonviolent way.

Long Term affects

The long term affects are that African American people ended up getting equal rights, and that segregation ended. Also now it has possibly led to our country getting its first Black President.
