The civil rights movement was a very monumental occurrence in U.S. history. With well-known leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., to Rosa Parks, to even Ruby Bridges, the Civil Rights Movement was a hopeful as well as impactful moment towards 100% equality within the United States as a whole. Though still very far away from the attempted goal, these marches, speeches, boycotts, and so much more as a part of this movement took place with the hope of a world resulting in a grand lack of discrimination, segregation, and overall racism against people of color and black lives.
(sorry if this makes sense i tried to make it as general as possible!!!) hope it helps :]
