Description

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the civil rights movement fought for social justice, mainly for black Americans to achieve equal lawful civil liberties in the USA. The Civil War officially stopped slavery, however not discrimination dealing with the black community. They continued to sustain the overwhelming effects of racism, significantly in the South. Black Americans grew tired of bias as well as physical violence against them. In addition to several white Americans, they constructed and also launched a unique battle for equality that went across twenty years. 2020 marked a new era in the United States with what some consider a revival of the Civil Rights Movement, sparked by the shocking and unjust murder of George Floyd. However, systemic racism against the Black community has survived even after the emancipation of slaves in 1863.
