Civil Rights Movement

The Civil Rights Movement, beginning in the 1940s, sought to end racial segregation in daily life, affecting areas like schools, transportation, and public facilities. Key figures such as Rosa Parks, who initiated the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, and Martin Luther King Jr., known for his leadership and iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, played crucial roles. The movement faced significant challenges, exemplified by George C. Wallace's staunch opposition to integration and the tragic 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, which claimed the lives of four young girls and marked a pivotal moment in the struggle for civil rights.
