The main focus of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s was to end racial discrimination and secure equal rights for African Americans. It aimed to address systemic inequalities in various aspects of life, including voting, education, employment, and public accommodations. Key events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Freedom Rides played crucial roles in raising awareness and mobilizing support. Prominent figures like Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for nonviolent protests, while grassroots organizations worked to empower local communities. Ultimately, the movement sought to transform societal views on race and promote justice and equality.
