Civil Rights
Civil rights refer to the protections and privileges granted to individuals by law, ensuring equal treatment regardless of race, gender, religion, or other status. The struggle for civil rights has been a defining feature of many societies throughout history, particularly in the United States, where movements such as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s sought to end segregation, secure voting rights, and promote social justice. This ongoing battle continues to shape legal reforms, social policies, and public discourse, aiming for a more inclusive and fair society. Explore the historical context, key figures, and modern challenges facing civil rights today.
