Which sentence could serve as a strong thesis statement for a research paper? 1) many books have been written about the civil rights movement. 2) the civil rights movement benefited americans of every race. 3) voting is an important civil right. 4) martin luther king, jr., was born in atlanta, georgia.

2 sounds great and very engaging

It depends. 1) could be like this, 'Many books have been written about the Civil Rights Movement, although it may be in different points of views there's one particular view that catches my attention.' or theres 2) 'The Civil Rights Movement benefited American of every race by creating new freedoms for the different races living in America.' Numbers 3 and 4 don't make much sense but I recommend using the 2nd one because a thesis statement is basically like an introduction of what you're writing about.
