The Civil Rights Movement arose from long-standing racial segregation, disenfranchisement, and violent oppression of Black Americans.
Key early events included Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–56).
Nonviolent protests like sit-ins, Freedom Rides, and the 1963 March on Washington built national support.
Landmark laws—the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—ended legal segregation and protected voting rights.
The movement expanded political participation and inspired later social-justice efforts, though racial inequality and civil-rights struggles continue.
