It results in a change in the characteristics of the area, which may, in turn, lead to community disharmony. Stakeholders aiming to revitalize a neighborhood must seek to avoid negatively affect residents who have weathered years of neighborhood neglect.Gentrification can be categorized as being in an early, middle, or later stage.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS AND THE AMERICAN TELEVISION PROGRAMMING Launched in the late 1940s and became popular in the 1950s as well as the 1960s, the civil rights movement was a quest for respect for the rights of African Americans in the United States. Inspired by the need to seek freedom and equality, black Americans continued to push for the eradication of discrimination that had adversely impacted their personal and professional lives. Although slavery had been brought to an end in the last ten decades during the 1960s, African Americans were subjected to racial violence, discrimination, and segregation in various spheres of life such as schools and public transport system.
