5. Civil rights movement

The Civil Rights Movement, primarily active in the 1950s and 1960s, sought to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the United States. It aimed for equal rights under the law, including voting, education, and fair treatment. Women played crucial roles, often facing both racial and gender discrimination. Figures like Rosa Parks and Daisy Bates highlighted the intersection of these struggles. The movement helped inspire the broader Women's Rights Movement by demonstrating effective activism and the fight for social justice, leading to greater awareness and action for women's rights alongside racial equality.
