it was in the 1950s and 1960s that the Civil Rights Movement – led by Martin Luther King Jr – challenged white supremacy:

In 1954, Rev Brown won the right to send his child to a white school. In a huge and unprecedented decision, ( Brown v Board of Education, 1954) the Supreme Court finally ruled that segregation could not ever be equal.

In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white person, inspiring the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

In 1957, nine black students, with military protection, went to a white school in Little Rock, Arkansas.
