Discover how landmark Supreme Court decisions and legislative achievements, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, dismantled segregation and ensured equal protection under the law. Learn about the courageous acts of individuals like Rosa Parks and the sacrifices made during Freedom Summer to register black voters. Understand how these efforts culminated in overturning the discriminatory laws that had oppressed black Americans for a century after the Civil War. This is a profound journey through the fight for equality and justice.
