The meaning of civil rights in the U.S. has evolved significantly over time, initially focusing on the abolition of slavery and the legal equality of African Americans. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s expanded this concept to include broader social and political rights, challenging segregation and discrimination. In recent decades, civil rights discussions have broadened to encompass issues of gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and the rights of marginalized communities, reflecting a more inclusive understanding of equality and justice. This ongoing evolution underscores the dynamic nature of civil rights as society's values and Demographics change.
Individual rights have evolved over time through various movements and changes in laws. For example, the abolition of slavery, the suffrage movement, civil rights movement, and LGBTQ+ rights movement have all expanded individual rights. Additionally, advancements in technology have raised new issues such as privacy rights.
Civil rights have evolved over the years. Even when slavery was ended, African Americans still had few rights. The Fifteenth Amendment gave them the right to vote, which was progress, but still they were segregated. Now, segregation is no longer allowed in a legal sense, though it can still occur in social circles. It has been a slow journey, but civil rights are moving in the right direction.

Mae Jemison was born on October 17, 1956. The civil rights movement in the United States spanned the 1950s and 1960s, meaning she was a child during much of that time. Specifically, she was around 5 years old when the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, making her an active observer of the movement's impact as she grew up.
Since humans have come together socially I would say.
the civil rights act of 1964 was a time of great discrimination. the civil rights act of 1964 prevented some people to stop dicriminating by their sex, race, color or national origion.

They fought for their rights for the people.
Roots Connection with Civil RightsIt had to do with emancipation and freedom, setting the stage for future civil rights to be had for all. Prior to Roots, many Americans, both black and white, incorrectly assumed that the original African slaves were "naked savages" without any culture of their own. Roots presented the rich cultural and social heritage of African Americans, and inspired a new-found pride that supported the growing civil rights movement. The answer above is wrong.By the time Haley's fiction book was published, all of the race discrimination civil rights laws now in effect had already been passed.The book changed nothing about race relations or civil rights.
No relation. It just happens that the Civil Rights Movement took place during that time frame. After all, 1945 thru 1990 is a long time.
Regarding Civil Rights for all US Citizens he felt that the time had come for if not now, then when.
There are many definitions given about this difference, and in many countries, laws and comments the terms are used in different ways. Wikipedia for one mentions 'freedom of speech' at the same time under 'civil rights' and under 'civil liberties'. But you could say that civil rights are general rules and freedoms that apply to any- and everybody in the same way, and that civil liberties are (often) specific rules and freedoms that apply to specific situations.
