The civil rights movement took place in the 1950s in America. People were protesting and marching against segregation and the Jim Crow Laws against African America. The movement brought the nation’s attention to the injustice, cruelty toward them based on their colour. The civil rights movement helped African American to achieve their rights in America in the 1950s and 1960s to break the prevailing pattern of segregation.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement for the African-Americans. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth, and W.E.B. Du Bois were some of the other activists in the civil rights movement.
