African American civil rights

African American civil rights refer to the efforts to end racial discrimination and ensure equal treatment under the law for Black Americans. Historically, they faced segregation, voting restrictions, and violence. Key moments include the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-60s, which achieved landmark laws like the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965). These efforts aimed to dismantle systemic racism, promote equality, and secure freedoms to participate fully in American society. The movement continues today, addressing ongoing issues like racial bias and economic disparity.
