The Civil Rights Movement had a profound impact on U.S. legislation, leading to significant changes in laws aimed at ending racial discrimination. Landmark legislations such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to ensure equal rights for African Americans. These laws outlawed segregation in schools and public places, promoting greater access to voting and public services. The movement reshaped national attitudes towards race and justice, fostering an ongoing dialogue about equality and civil rights that continues to this day.
