Albany Movement

The Albany Movement was a civil rights campaign in Albany, Georgia, during 1961-1962, aimed at ending racial segregation and discrimination. Led by local activists and Martin Luther King Jr., it sought to register Black voters and challenge unfair laws through nonviolent protests and sit-ins. Although it faced arrests and setbacks, the movement helped raise awareness about racial injustice in the South and contributed to future civil rights efforts, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equality and justice for African Americans.
