Describe the development of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950.

In 1894, the US Supreme Court gave legal consent to state laws segregating black people and white people with its decision concerning the Plessey v Ferguson case. The decision stated that black and white should be separate but equal, meaning the same standard of facilities for both. In reality it legally enforced a state of affairs that assured that blacks would never be equal, and couldn't get equal treatment, status or opportunity in their own country. …

…segregation in as many places as possible, due to awareness raised by the Civil Rights movement. 1954 saw the prohibition of segregation in schools and 1956 saw the end of segregation on busses. In 1957, segregation was outlawed and abolished completely by the civil rights act, which made all segregation illegal everywhere. It was still clear that racial hatred existed, but the movement was fighting against it, and continued to protest and attract new members to their cause.
