Led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, the movement used peaceful protest, legal challenges, and civil disobedience to demand equal rights under the law. Its achievements included landmark legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, transforming American society and inspiring human rights movements around the world.

in the United States that took place primarily during the 1950s and 1960s, fighting to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, the movement used peaceful protest, legal challenges, and civil disobedience to demand equal rights under the law. Its achievements included landmark legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, transforming American society and inspiring human rights movements around the world.
