The outcome of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States was significant progress toward racial equality and the abolition of legal segregation. Landmark legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, outlawed discrimination and protected voter rights. The movement mobilized grassroots activism and raised awareness of racial injustices, leading to societal changes. While substantial achievements were made, ongoing challenges for racial justice and equality continue to this day.
