Mouvement des droits civiques aux États-Unis
The Civil Rights movement in the U.S. aimed to end legal segregation and racial discrimination. Beginning in the 1950s, activists challenged 'Jim Crow' laws through peaceful protests. Landmark events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the court case paved the way for change. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became a leading voice, advocating for non-violent resistance. These efforts led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which protected the rights of all citizens. This movement transformed American society, moving it closer to its promise of equality for all under the law.
