Black civil rights

Black civil rights refer to the efforts and legal protections aimed at ending racial discrimination and ensuring equal treatment for Black people. Historically, Black Americans faced segregation, unfair laws, and violence. Movements like the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s fought for desegregation, voting rights, and equal opportunities. Key laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, helped prohibit discrimination. These efforts continue today to promote racial equality, justice, and inclusion in all areas of society.
