<human>:  Can you tell me about the history of the civil rights movement
<bot>: The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly in the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. It aimed to eliminate racial discrimination, overturn segregation, and ensure voting rights for all people. The movement was largely organized by civil rights organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and it was led by figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. The civil rights movement achieved notable successes in the mid-to late-1960s, including civil rights legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregation, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which established the right of African Americans to vote.
