The Civil Rights Movement: Martin Luther King Jr.
The Civil Rights Movement was a social movement in the United States that aimed to end racial discrimination and segregation against African Americans. The movement started in the mid-1950s and continued through the 1960s. At the time, African Americans faced discrimination in many aspects of life, including education, employment, housing, and politics.
The Civil Rights Movement was led by a number of prominent figures, including Martin Luther King Jr., who is widely regarded as the face of the movement. Other important leaders included Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her bus seat to a white person, and Malcolm X, who advocated for more militant action in the fight for civil rights.
The Civil Rights Movement was characterized by a number of key events, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was sparked by Parks' refusal to give up her seat, and the March on Washington, which saw King deliver his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech.
The movement also led to a number of important legislative changes, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which helped to end legal segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the United States.
