Explain how the Civil Rights Movement impacted African Americans's daily life and represented an permanent shift in American society. Using Brown vs. Board case and Montgomery Bus Boycott for evidence.

The civil rights movement called national attention to the plight of African Americans, whose basic rights were being violated. The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case was a landmark case that abolished segregation in schools and led to the call for the end to segregation in other areas. The Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama in 1955 until 1956 was the first major protest movement of the era. It involved African Americans boycotting the Montgomery buses until they were integrated and separate seating areas for whites and blacks were abolished on the buses. Later protests across the Jim Crow South resulted in the eventual abolition of public segregation, and the Civil Rights movement later turned to helping African Americans register to vote. The movement led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The movement made many Americans across the country realize the extent to which African Americans's rights were being violated and empowered African Americans to continue to fight for their rights.
