The Civil Rights Movement was a movement by the people, not a law to be passed by congress.

A result of the Civil Rights Movement was the consideration of many bills passed by congress into law. Among them were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
