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

The Civil Rights Movement began in the mid-20th century and lasted for decades, beginning with the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and ending with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This period saw many significant advances for African Americans, including desegregation of public facilities and transportation, the end of legalized segregation in schools and housing, and passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These changes were made possible by a combination of grassroots activism, political pressure from civil rights organizations, and federal legislation.
