The revolution marked by significant developments in civil rights in the United States is the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. This movement aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans, advocating for equal rights and social justice. Key events included the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the implementation of landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Central figures, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, played influential roles in mobilizing efforts and raising awareness about systemic inequality.
