Post-Civil Rights Era
The Post-Civil Rights Era refers to the period following the major legislative achievements of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, particularly after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This era is characterized by ongoing struggles for racial equality, as many African Americans and other marginalized groups continued to face systemic discrimination and social injustices despite legal advancements.
During this time, various movements emerged to address issues such as economic inequality, police brutality, and educational disparities. Organizations like the NAACP and the Black Lives Matter movement have played significant roles in advocating for social justice and civil rights, highlighting the need for continued activism and reform in American society.
