Nearly 100 years after the Emancipation
Proclamation, African Americans in Southern states still inhabited a starkly
unequal world of disenfranchisement, segregation and various forms of
oppression, including race-inspired violence. “Jim Crow” laws at the local and
state levels barred them from classrooms and bathrooms, from theaters and train
cars, from juries and legislatures. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down
the “separate but equal” doctrine that formed the basis for state-sanctioned
discrimination, drawing national and international attention to African
Americans’ plight. In the turbulent decade and a half that followed, civil
rights activists used nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to bring about
change, and the federal government made legislative headway with initiatives
such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Many
leaders from within the African American community and beyond rose to
prominence during the Civil Rights era, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa
Parks, Malcolm X, Andrew Goodman and others. They risked—and sometimes
lost—their lives in the name of freedom and equality.
