One of the most important events in American history, the Civil Rights Movement brought about progress towards racial equality under the law, after America largely spent the hundred years after the Civil War ignoring the fact that blacks and other minorities were still being treated like second class citizens with little to no rights in many parts of the country. The [[TheDeepSouth Southern states]], despite losing UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar and the abolition of slavery, had found numerous loopholes to keep blacks down: "Jim Crow" laws were drafted following the end of reconstruction in many Southern states, while the hypocritical and inherently flawed concept of "Separate but Equal" segregation denied minorities in the South basic rights. Black people even found it difficult to vote, despite having the right to, since states could (and did) impose literacy tests, which were often rigged by having questions that were either impossible to answer or deliberately ambiguous, poll taxes, or even making people ''guess the number of jellybeans inside a jar.''[[note]]If you're wondering why these didn't apply to whites, it's because the laws had exemptions for people whose fathers or grandfathers could vote at the time of the law's passage. This is where we get the term "GrandfatherClause."[[/note]] Note that discrimination was not exclusive to African Americans; Hispanics, Natives, Asians, Jews, Irish, and others were oppressed in varying ways as well, to say nothing of the LGBT community who had to keep their true natures hidden for fear of their wellbeing and often their lives.

* Alluded to in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' when Marty declares that a certain black busboy will someday be mayor and the response is, "[[ItWillNeverCatchOn a colored mayor, that'll be the day!]]" Obviously, the Civil Rights Movement is what happened between 1955 and 1985 to make that possible.
