African American rights

African American rights refer to the legal and civil rights that ensure African Americans have the same opportunities and protections as all citizens. Historically, they have faced discrimination and marginalization, leading to movements for equality, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Landmark legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, aimed to eliminate racial discrimination and secure voting rights. Ongoing efforts address systemic issues like police violence, economic inequality, and access to education and healthcare, striving for true equality and social justice.
