Key events that helped African Americans secure full citizenship include the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which began the process of freeing enslaved people, and the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, while the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, marked by landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, further solidified these rights and fought against systemic discrimination.
