The demand to end segregation after the Civil War began almost immediately after the Civil War. Jackie Robinson was a major push forwards in exposing whites to desegregation. Then, of course, WWII where non-white combat units performed exceptionally, leading to desegregation in the military.

"Catholics paved the way for the Civil Rights movement" is some real white savior bullshit.
