Atlanta Student Movement article review: The article is limited in its legacy information. There is also no side box, and very few academic references. Additionally, there are several grammatical errors, and an issue with structuring

= Atlanta Student Movement = The Atlanta Student Movement was formed between February and March 1960 in Atlanta by students of the campuses Atlanta University Center (AUC) and led by the Committee for the Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR). It was part of the Civil Rights Movement.

Background
"The sit-in movement in Atlanta, as elsewhere, brought a younger generation of leaders to the fore and generated intense press coverage"

Links to Civil Rights Movement
"led to the well-publicized arrest of Dr. King". In addition, King and Bond aided in creating "a political crisis for candidates during the presidential election campaign"

Achievements
"One ABC programme portrayed Atlanta ad the city where, in the programmes title, 'It Can Be Done', referring to the city's reputation for inter-racial cooperation"

"The disruption caused by sit-ins...inspired the effort to desegregate peacefully"

The sit-ins greatly impacted how black property owners positively responded to the Civil Rights Movement. According to Bond, '"black property owners put up bond which probably amounted to $100,000" to get sit-in demonstrators released from jail'.

New Appeal for Human Rights
On May 16 2017, 'A New Appeal for Human Rights' was released. Echoing the sentiments of the 1960's Appeal for Human Rights, the document highlights the importance of recognising 'human rights as universal and inalienable, as well as indivisible and interdependent'.

Dr Lonnie King, Chairman of the Atlanta Student Movement of 1960-1961 said that the document 'clearly illustrates that the quest for a 'just' society continues to this day'.
