American civil rights

The American Civil Rights movement was a struggle during the 1950s and 1960s aimed at ending racial segregation and discrimination against Black Americans. It sought equal access to education, voting rights, and public facilities, challenging laws and social norms that upheld inequality. Led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., the movement used protests, legal action, and advocacy to promote justice and fairness. Its success reshaped laws and attitudes, helping to create a more equitable society, though ongoing disparities still exist. The movement is a key chapter in America’s ongoing pursuit of racial equality and civil liberties.
