Civil Rights Movement

The Civil Rights movement was a time between 1955 to 1965 when congress passed the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965, which meant giving basic civil rights to all Americans regardless of race. Some of the people that where involved in the Civil Rights movement where Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, and Ruby Bridges. These where all important people in the Civil Rights movement. They each did different things like Ruby Bridges was the first girl to attend a whites only school, but each person had their own part in the Civil Rights movement.
