The civil rights movement fought to end racial discrimination in the United States. It was a decades-long struggle for equal rights for African Americans and other minorities.
The movement gained national momentum in the 1950s and 1960s through sit-ins, marches, boycotts, and legal challenges. Key events include the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955), the March on Washington (1963), and the passage of the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965).
Leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, John Lewis, and many others risked their lives to end segregation and secure equal rights under the law.
