The African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968) refers to the movements in the United States aimed at outlawing racial discrimination against African Americans and restoring voting rights in Southern states. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South. By 1966, the emergence of the Black Power Movement, which lasted roughly from 1966 to 1975, enlarged the aims of the Civil Rights Movement to include racial dignity, economic and political self-sufficiency, and freedom from oppression by white Americans.
The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. During the period 1955–1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to crisis situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and/or civil disobedience included boycotts such as the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956) in Alabama; "sit-ins" such as the influential Greensboro sit-ins (1960) in North Carolina; marches, such as the Selma to Montgomery marches (1965) in Alabama; and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.
Noted legislative achievements during this phase of the Civil Rights Movement were passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964,[1] that banned discrimination based on "race, color, religion, or national origin" in employment practices and public accommodations; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that restored and protected voting rights; the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965, that dramatically opened entry to the U.S. to immigrants other than traditional European groups; and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people were inspired to action, these non-violent actions continue, and have inspired new civil rights activists & leaders to continue to fight throughout the years; into the Modern Civil Rights Movement (1993-2011). This synopsis is dedicated to all of the heroes, who have fought the good fight, and achieved Notoriety in African-American History.

History of the Modern Civil Rights Movement (1993-)
"The American dream is not dead. It is gasping for breath, but it is not dead." -- Bishop Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., Jawanza Kunjufu, & Dr. Ivan Van Sertima
Black Poverty and White Privilege
Black Americans are statistically three times as likely to live in poverty as white Americans, statistically more likely to end up in prison, and statistically less likely to graduate from high school and college. But this is hardly new; every long-term form of legally mandated racism in the history of the world has resulted in social stratification that outlived the original laws and motives that created it.
Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion applies: In society, as in physics, an object in motion tends to stay in motion. It is no longer necessary for the law to mandate segregation and oppression; after 480 years, it has taken on a life of its own. In order to fight this old tradition of social stratification, we must embrace and promote the contemporary civil rights agenda.

Challenges to Affirmative Action
Affirmative action programs have been controversial since their inception, and they remain so. But most of what people find objectionable about affirmative action isn't central to the concept; the "no quotas" argument against affirmative action is still being used to challenge a series of initiatives that don't necessarily involve mandatory quotas.

Race and the Criminal Justice System
In his book Taking Liberties, Human Rights Watch co-founder and former ACLU executive director Aryeh Neier described the criminal justice system's treatment of low-income black Americans as the single greatest civil liberties concern in our country today. The United States currently imprisons over 2.2 million people--about one quarter of Earth's prison population. Approximately one million of these 2.2 million prisoners are African-American.
Low-income African Americans are targeted at every step of the criminal justice process. They are subject to racial profiling by officers, increasing the odds that they will be arrested; they are given inadequate counsel, increasing the odds that they will be convicted; having fewer assets to tie them to the community, they are more likely to be denied bond, often falsely arrested, given wrongful military discharges, black men are treated with less respect than women, given poor legal counsel/representation or quality medical care by most lawyers & doctors, wrongfully terminated from jobs for little to no reason, denied access to the news media- to voice political opinions on racism/voice concerns/report racist criminal activities, or report discrimination cases that effect the Black Community, suffer constant racism & injustice from the police & various government or corporate institutions, most often treated unfairly, lied on, & cheated out of disability benefits by Worker's Compensation Insurance Companies, lawyers, doctors, & employers; and then they are sentenced more harshly by judges. Black defendants convicted of drug-related offenses, on average, serve 50 percent more time in prison than whites convicted of the same offenses. In America, justice isn't blind; it isn't even color-blind.
