CIVIL RIGHTS Movement (USA)
The Civil Rights Movement in the USA was a pivotal chapter in the nation's history, marked by courage, resilience, and transformative change. It was a time when ordinary citizens rose to challenge systemic racism and demand equality. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X became icons of the struggle, their voices echoing the cries for justice and dignity.
The movement was characterized by peaceful protests, sit-ins, and marches, most notably the March on Washington in 1963, where King's "I Have a Dream" speech resonated with millions. Despite facing brutal opposition, the movement achieved monumental victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These achievements reshaped the social fabric of the nation, fostering a legacy of activism that continues to inspire the fight for equality and justice today.
