The Civil Rights Era
1955 to 1968 is known as the Civil Rights Era in the United States. Civil Rights is the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality. This Era describes the time in which African Americans fought for their rights and desegregation. Millions of white Americans opposed their black counterparts and fought to keep them at a lower standard. Not all white Americans were this way, some stood up for the rights of the African Americans.
