The Supreme Court extended civil liberties in the 1950s and 1960s through landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated schools; Gideon v. Wainwright, which established the right to counsel for criminal defendants; and Miranda v. Arizona, which required police to inform suspects of their rights. These rulings significantly expanded the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
The push by the black community for certain rights was called the Civil Rights Movement. It was a social movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s that aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans and secure legal recognition and protection of their rights as citizens.
Not as many as they would gradually get beginning in the late 1960s, when the women's movement (also called Second Wave Feminism) began to take off. In the 1950s, women were still expected to stay at home and be housewives and mothers. Women could (and did) work part-time, but usually in low-paying office jobs or as cashiers, maids, etc. Of course, women did have the right to vote and the right to express themselves (there were some women authors, some women entertainers, and even a few women in non-traditional occupations like law); but over all, the culture of the 1950s was very traditional and expected most women to focus on the domestic sphere.
After slavery was abolished in the United States, African Americans faced continued discrimination, segregation, and violence. They fought for civil rights through movements such as the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, leading to the passing of legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Today, racial inequality and systemic racism continue to be major issues that African Americans face.
Yes, Jim Crow laws were still prevalent in the 1930s in many states, particularly in the southern United States. These laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in various aspects of daily life, including education, public facilities, and transportation. The laws were eventually challenged and began to be dismantled during the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

Instances of states ignoring Supreme Court decisions are relatively rare. While there have been a few notable cases throughout history, such as the resistance to desegregation rulings in the 1950s and 1960s, the majority of states typically comply with and uphold the decisions of the Supreme Court.
