Change for African Americans began to gain momentum in the early 19th century with the abolitionist movement, which sought to end slavery. The Civil War (1861-1865) was a pivotal moment, leading to the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and the eventual abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment in 1865. The Reconstruction era that followed introduced significant, albeit short-lived, advancements in civil rights. However, systemic racism and segregation persisted, leading to ongoing struggles and movements for equality throughout the 20th century and beyond.
