Civil Rights Movement | Sarods

The civil rights movement was a groundbreaking social movement in the United States that aimed to abolish legalized racial segregation, discrimination, and disenfranchisement, primarily affecting African Americans. With its roots influenced by Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent movement in India, the movement gained momentum in the 1940s and 1950s, culminating in significant legislative changes. Through the efforts of various organizations and individuals, the movement achieved notable progress, securing new protections in federal law for the civil rights of all Americans.
