Sign in to save

The Civil Rights Movement challenged segregation and unequal voting access. Brown v. Board, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 show how protest, court action, and legislation can interact. Read sources by asking who created them, when, why, and what evidence they provide.
