CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. The civil rights movement was a freedom struggle by African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s to gain equality. The goals of the movement were freedom from discrimination; equal opportunity in employment, education, and housing; the right to vote; and equal access to public facilities.he Civil Rights Movement would become more than just a protest against segregation in the schools. In December of 1955 Rosa Parks, the secretary of the Alabama NAACP, was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama; she had refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man as required by city law.
Important events in the history of the Civil Rights movement for African Americans include the adoption of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and the first and second Civil Rights Acts. The adoption of the 19th Amendment advanced the Civil Rights movement for American women.
