1965 Voting Rights Act

With leaders of the civil rights movement standing by, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, the federal government's ability to prevent state and local governments from denying citizens the right to vote because of their race. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is suggested by Bruce Davidson's photograph "Youths on the Selma March" (1965).

1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott

After Rosa Parks was arrested on Dec 1, 1955, for refusing to let a white passenger take her seat on a Montgomery, AL, bus African Americans began a prolonged boycott of the bus company by walking or carpooling for more than a year. On Dec. 21, 1956, black passengers once again rode Montgomery City Lines. The Boycott is represented by a detail from "Walking", a 1958 painting by Charles Alston.
