Tuscaloosa Civil Rights Movement

The Tuscaloosa Civil Rights Movement was part of the broader struggle for racial equality in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, activists fought against segregation—remaining racial separation in public spaces like schools and restaurants—by organizing protests, sit-ins, and legal challenges. The movement aimed to dismantle discriminatory practices and secure fair treatment for Black residents. Its efforts contributed to significant changes in local laws and social attitudes, making Tuscaloosa a notable site in the national quest for civil rights and equal justice.
