The Albany Movement was a civil rights protest in Albany, Georgia in 1961. It was spearheaded by local African American leaders and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in an effort to desegregate public facilities and gain voting rights for African Americans. The movement included sit-ins, boycotts, and marches, but ultimately did not achieve its goals. However, it did serve as a significant step in the larger civil rights movement.
