How did the civil rights movement affect passage of civil rights law in 1960s

The Civil Rights movement was a very successful era during the Vietnam War. It was especially influential in discovering significant historical figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Malcom X, etc.

Forms of protests consisted of sit-ins, bus boycotts, and marches that lasted for days at a time. Specifically, in Mobile, Alabama, Nine educated black students attended a white school nearby their neighborhoods, guarded by a few coast guard officials, to ease their way into segregated schools.

The end of segregation

The Civil Rights Movement started after 1955 when Rosa Parks was arrested in Mongotmery for not leaving her seat to a white man. MLK launched the Mongotmery bus boycott as a form of retaliation. Segregation had been officially abolished by the Brown vs Board of Education Supreme Court decision in 1954 and yet Southerners refuse to abolish based on the idea that it was part of states' rights.

From 1955 to 1968, nationwide actions of Civil Disobedience inspired by Gandhi and led by MLK and his organisation SCLC was successful in bringing about the end of political discrimination, disenfranchisement and forced separation of public spaces.
