The difference between the Civil Rights Act and BLM is that the Civil Right Act was decades long and the people participating in these movements were mostly non-violent even though the government was harsh and over reacted

The civil rights movement was a decades long campaign that black people and their allies held to end racial discrimination and segregation. The Black Lives Matter movement is to remind people of the message.
