Transcendentalist writings by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau had a significant influence on African American activists in the 1950s and 1960s.

These ideas helped shape the philosophical underpinnings of the Civil Rights Movement, encouraging activists to advocate for social justice and equality.
One significant step taken by civil rights activists to gain the right to vote was the organization of the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. These protests highlighted the systemic disenfranchisement of African Americans in the South and aimed to draw national attention to the issue.
