Here are some important events! You choose.

Brown vs. Board of Education. This was the court case that ended school segregation and helped jump start the rest of the movement.

Montgomery Bus Boycott. Started the protest movement and made Martin Luther King Jr. more of an important person.

The Little Rock Nine. The federal government forced integration of the high school in Little Rock. Showed the government was serious about integration.

Greensboro sit-ins

Freedom Riders

Deaths of the three civil rights workers during the Freedom Summer

March on Washington

1964 Civil Rights Act -- this actually gave blacks the rights they had been fighting for.

1965 Voting Rights Act. Protected blacks' right to vote, which had not been very well protected.

Rise of the "Black Power" movement, which started to make things more confrontational.

I would say 1964 Civil Rights Act.
