Civil Rights

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s was a powerful uprising against systemic racism, segregation, and voter suppression—led by ordinary people demanding extraordinary change. Through nonviolent protest, legal challenges, and relentless courage, they reshaped America’s laws and conscience. Today, we face new forms of old struggles: voter disenfranchisement, economic inequality, and racial injustice still persist. The spirit of the ’60s lives on in modern movements for equity, police reform, and democratic protection. Their legacy teaches us that progress is possible—but never promised. We must stay vigilant, engaged, and united to continue the work they began. The fight is far from over.
