Civil Rights Movement in Maryland

The Civil Rights Movement in Maryland was part of the broader struggle during the 1950s-1960s to end racial segregation and discrimination against Black Americans. In Maryland, activists challenged unfair laws, fought for equal access to schools, housing, and public facilities, and sought voting rights. Key events included legal battles, protests, and court rulings that helped dismantle segregation policies. The movement contributed to statewide progress in civil rights, reflecting both local efforts and national momentum toward racial equality.
