This map shows the Civil Rights Struggle for the period of 1954 to 1965. In the postwar battle for black civil rights, the first major victory was the NAACP litigation of Brown v. Board of Education, which declared public school segregation unconstitutional. As indicated on this map, the struggle then quickly spread, raising other issues and seeding new organizations. Other organizations quickly joined the battle and shifted the focus away from the courts to mass action and organization. The year 1965 marked the high point, when violence against the Selma, Alabama, marchers spurred the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Ten events shown in callout boxes are identified on the map that shows the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. These events are: (1) 1954: In Brown v. Board of Education, the United States Supreme Court rules public school segregation unconstitutional; (2) 1955–56: Rosa Parks refuses to move to back of the bus, launching Montgomery Bus Boycott; (3) 1957: President Eisenhower sends federal troops to enforce integration of Central High School; (4) 1960: Sit-in movement begins in Greensboro, North Carolina, and quickly spreads to Nashville, Atlanta, and other places; (5) 1961: Sponsored by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Freedom Ride meets with violence in Alabama; (6) 1962: James Meredith integrates the University of Mississippi under the protection of federal troops; (7) 1962: Meeting local resistance, SCLC and Martin Luther King's attempt at desegregation fails; (8) 1963: thousands from every state join protest March on Washington. Martin Luther King Jr. delivers “I have a dream” speech; (9) 1964: Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and other groups organize the Freedom Summer voter registration drive; and (10) 1965: Protest march from Selma to Montgomery following “Bloody Sunday.” The map also shows the path of the Freedom Ride from Washington, D.C. going through Atlanta and then to Jackson, Mississippi, with a short trail from Selma to Montgomery.
