The Civil Rights Movement in the United States was characterized by nonviolent protests, activism for equal rights and social justice, and a strong emphasis on civil disobedience. It aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans, and to secure legal protections for their rights and opportunities for full citizenship. The movement was led by prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X.
The civil rights movement was a driving force from 1955 to 1968 because it sought to end racial segregation and discrimination, fighting for equal rights and opportunities for African Americans. The movement gained momentum after Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, and it resulted in significant legal and social advancements, such as the desegregation of schools and the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. The movement's leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., inspired and mobilized millions of Americans to demand equality and justice.
