The Civil Rights Movement  encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans and secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. The most popular strategies used in the 1950s and first half of the 1960s were based on the notion of non-violent civil disobedience and included such methods of protest as boycotts, freedom rides, voter registration drives, sit-ins, and marches.

A series of critical rulings and laws, from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education to the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, outlawed major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women, including racial segregation and unequal application of voter registration requirements.

A wave of inner city riots in black communities from 1964 through 1970 undercut support from the white community. The emerging Black Power movement, which lasted from about 1966 to 1975, demanded political and economic self-sufficiency.

During the March Against Fear in 1966, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Congress of Racial Equality fully embraced the slogan of Black Power to describe these trends toward militancy and self-reliance.

While most popular representations of the movement are centered on the leadership and philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr., the movement was too diverse to be credited to one person, organization, or strategy.

The Greensboro sit-ins: A series of nonviolent protests in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960, which led to the Woolworth department store chain removing its policy of racial segregation in the southern United States.
