In the 1960s, African Americans were still denied several basic rights, including the right to vote in many Southern states due to discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes. They also faced widespread segregation in public facilities, schools, and housing, which reinforced systemic racism. Additionally, employment opportunities were often limited, and they were subjected to unequal treatment in the justice system. These injustices sparked civil rights movements aimed at achieving equality and ending discrimination.
