Civil Rights protests have been a key element in the fight for racial equality and justice in Black history. One of the most famous and impactful Civil Rights protests was the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955-1956 led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. This protest was sparked by Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a segregated bus and lasted for 381 days, leading to the end of racial segregation on Montgomery public buses.

Another significant protest was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. This protest drew over 250,000 participants and played a crucial role in the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Selma to Montgomery Marches in 1965 were also pivotal in the fight for voting rights. Led by activists like John Lewis, these marches highlighted the brutality faced by Black protesters and ultimately led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Throughout Black history, Civil Rights protests have been instrumental in bringing about legislative changes and raising awareness about racial injustice. They continue to serve as powerful tools in the ongoing struggle for racial equality and social justice.
