the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States, which was to achieve reforms in the United States aimed at abolishing discrimination and racial segregation in the United States. With the advent of black movements such as Black Power and the Black Panthers in the mid-1960s, black society's claim to racial equality eventually increased its claim to racial dignity.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act was a milestone in US federal law for having set the end of discriminatory electoral practices stemming from racial segregation in the United States. The law was sanctioned by President Lyndon B. Johnson at the height of the civil rights movement on August 6, 1965, following the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
