The Civil Rights Movement was a significant social and political movement in the United States during the mid-20th century. It aimed to secure equal rights and end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Activists, such as Martin Luther King Jr., fought for equal opportunities in education, employment, and public facilities.
Since the Civil Rights Movement began, our society has seen significant changes. Laws were passed to protect civil rights, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These laws helped to dismantle segregation and provide legal protections against discrimination.
