Geschichte der USA | 20. Jahrhundert
The Civil Rights Movement
Strict racial segregation is still widespread throughout public life, especially in the southern states. Violent attacks are repeatedly enacted against the black population. The Ku Klux Klan is committed to preventing the equal treatment of African Americans at all costs; But they no longer accept discrimination without resistance. In 1955, Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger. With Martin Luther King Jr. the Civil Rights Movement gets a charismatic face. During the 1963 "March on Washington", he gives his most famous speech - with success. Shortly thereafter, discrimination against blacks is prohibited by law. April 4th, 1968: Martin Luther King is assassinated. Forty years later, Barack Obama is the first African-American to be elected president.
