  • 1The 'separate but equal' ruling from Plessy v Ferguson (1896) allowed segregation as long as facilities were supposedly equal, but in reality black facilities were usually far worse.
  • 2The Civil Rights Movement used a range of methods, including boycotts, sit ins, freedom rides and mass marches, to draw attention to injustice and pressure the government.
  • 3The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex or national origin, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed many barriers stopping black Americans from voting.
  • 4Alongside the African American Civil Rights Movement, the women's rights movement campaigned for equal pay, workplace rights and reproductive rights in the 1960s and 1970s.
