What year did blacks get their civil rights?

Answer 1

Blacks acquired different freedoms throughout time. They did not acquire them all at once. The battle against racism and segregation was fought for many years and eventually was won. Although to say racism is totally gone would be incorrect because people are still entitled to their opinions.

More clearly stated, the emancipation proclamation that freed many blacks was in 1865. Though initially not all were free, by December 6, 1865 it was the 13th amendment that finalized it all from a documentational standpoint. That made it it illegal to have slaves or involuntary slavery (with the exclusion of being punished for a crime).

Keep in mind though, immediately after all slaves were freed by this action black men were given the right to vote. Those in the south were tricked into not believing it. It was not until August 26, 1920 that women (both white and black) were granted the right to vote.

Answer 2

Well in 1964 the Civil Rights Act 1964 was produced, enabling desegregation and equality in many areas of America, but this did not enable complete Black Civil Rights.

It was an ongoing battle from the 1950s through 1960s mstly, but is still being fought for even as recent as 1992 - in the Los Angeles Riots.

Answer 3

Please note that not all African Americans were slaves- many were free people. The Emancipation Proclamation did free SOME slaves in January 1863, but slavery in the US did not come to and end until the adoption of the 13th Amendment in December 1865.
