The Baltimore Civil Rights Movement was part of the larger struggle for racial equality in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Activists in Baltimore worked to end segregation in public spaces, improve housing conditions, and secure voting rights for African Americans. Key events included protests, sit-ins, and the formation of organizations like the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP. Prominent figures in the movement included Juanita Jackson Mitchell, the first African American woman to practice law in Maryland, and H. Ralph Jackson, who led various initiatives for civil rights. Their efforts contributed to significant changes in local laws and increased awareness of racial injustices in Baltimore.
