The Rights Revolution

The Rights Revolution refers to a significant movement, primarily in the mid-20th century, aimed at expanding civil rights and social justice for marginalized groups. It encompasses the struggle for equal rights for women, racial minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, and people with disabilities. Fueled by activism, legislation, and court rulings, this movement sought to challenge discrimination and promote equality under the law. Landmark events, such as the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S., played a crucial role in advancing these rights, fundamentally reshaping societal norms and legal frameworks to foster greater inclusion and protection for all individuals.
