The Civil Rights Movement significantly influenced public policy in the United States, leading to transformative legislative changes aimed at dismantling racial discrimination. Key achievements included the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate barriers preventing African Americans from voting. The movement's impact extended beyond legislation; it reshaped public attitudes toward race and equality, encouraging a broader discourse on social justice. Additionally, it inspired other marginalized groups to advocate for their rights, contributing to ongoing efforts for equality and inclusivity in American society.
