Civil Rights: Civil Rights are the rights a country guarantees its citizens. In the early 1950’s many

places were segregated. In 1954, Thurgood Marshall brought the case of Brown vs. Topeka Board of

Education to the U.S. Supreme Court. They argued that Linda Brown went to a segregated school and

was not getting the same education as white students. Linda Brown won the court case and

desegregation was ordered in all public schools. Another incident that occurred was the Montgomery

Bus Boycott. In 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a crowded bus and was arrested.

The African Americans boycotted the buses and this boycott was led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in

Montgomery, Al. In 1956 the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on buses was illegal. Dr. Martin

Luther King Jr. also led the March on Washington in 1963 where he gave his famous “I have a dream

speech”. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed. This banned segregation in schools, workplaces

and public places such as restaurants and theaters. In 1965 the Voting Rights Act was passed that

prevented discrimination for any person while voting. In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was

assassinated.
