The Civil Rights Movement (1955- 1965)

The US civil rights movement is a political, legal and social struggle aimed at winning full citizenship and achieving racial equality of African-Americans. The civil rights movement is a challenge to separate laws and customs from blacks and whites. During the civil rights movement, individuals and organizations will challenge isolation and discrimination through various activities such as protest march, boycott, refusal to comply with apartheid law.

The civil rights movement from 1955 to 1965 brought the consent of the civil rights law, but African Americans did not immediately accept racial justice. The civil rights movement was the most frequent participation between 1955 and 1965. Congress approved the civil rights law in 1964 and passed the voting rights law in 1865. These bills are designed to provide basic Americans citizenship to all Americans, regardless of race, after a decade of non-violent protests and marches from bus boycotts to student leader seats It has been. Measures taken by African Americans are simple, as Caucasians are not making full efforts in civil rights bills, which is the starting point for racial justice for all Americans.

I found that 1964 and 1965 are the most important two years of the civil rights movement. The 1964 Civil Rights Act officially prohibits racial (and sexual) discrimination in the United States. The establishment of the "Voting Rights Act" in 1965 banned the literacy test at the polling place. These two laws are thought to be a breakthrough event of the civil rights movement and a great achievement. However, the momentum of the civil rights movement began to shake in 1966. The division within the movement brought the emergence of two new advocacy groups, black power movement and black panther. Both proved to be radical and extreme than non-violent approaches of the civil rights movement

In the early days of the civil rights movement, litigation and lobbying were the focus of the integration effort. The US Supreme Court decision, made at Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, resulted in a tactical shift, "direct action" from 1955 to 1965 by strategy - primarily bus boycotts, sit-in, freeride, and Social movement - was. From 1955 to 1956, locally initiated isolation bus boycotts, especially the Montgomery Bus boycott, aimed at consolidating and mobilizing common concerns for the black community. Instead of taking a bus, the protesters decided to walk or pick a car pool. A recent boycott has finished isolating the bus at Montgomery and caused a boycott of other buses like Tallahassee who succeeded at the boycott of Florida in 1956-1957.
