I'm interested in learning more about the history of the Civil Rights movement in the United States.

The civil rights movement in the United States began with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed segregation and discrimination based on race or ethnicity. This was followed by a number of other laws that sought to protect African Americans from discrimination in housing, education, employment, and public accommodations. In addition, the Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. As a result, many Southern states were forced to integrate their schools.
