What movement tried to end racial discrimination?

Why this is the answer

The civil rights movement. On the official list the word movement sits in parentheses, so “civil rights” alone also counts. The movement grew out of a very concrete problem. During the 1900s, many states had laws that sorted people by race: separate schools, separate restaurants, separate neighborhoods, and rules that made it harder for some citizens to vote. Many of the states with those laws wanted to keep Black Americans apart from White Americans, and some also discriminated against Latino and Asian Americans. Soon after World War II, people across the country organized to end that system. USCIS dates the modern movement to 1954, the year the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. What followed was a campaign built on nonviolent tactics such as bus boycotts, sit-ins and marches. Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of its leaders, but far from the only one; Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, for example, were leaders from the Latino American community. The results are written into the Constitution and federal law. The 24th Amendment, ratified in January 1964, barred any poll tax as a condition for voting in federal elections. Congress then passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made segregation in public facilities and racial discrimination in employment and education illegal, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which ended the literacy tests and other special requirements used to keep African Americans from registering to vote. It is easy to mix this up with an older struggle. Women’s right to vote came out of a separate, earlier fight, and the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, bars denying the vote on account of sex. That was a fight for rights too, but this question is about racial discrimination, and that points to the movement that took off after World War II. A practical tip: the question already holds half the answer, since racial discrimination is exactly what civil rights laws forbid. Link the two phrases in your head and they will come out together in the interview.
