"It takes both the black and white keys on the piano to play 'The Star Spangled Banner.' "
The Civil Rights Movement was said to have started when a large number of Black American Citizens decided that they had to fight the discrimination they were facing daily from other American citizens. Most of the action of the Civil Rights movement happened during the 1950s and 1960s. After almost 10 years of non-violent protests and marches such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and The March on Washington, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, then the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These two Acts insured basic civil rights for all races of American citizens.
