Between 1955 and 1968, the American Civil Rights Movement used a combination of non-violence and civil disobedience to begin the removal of Jim Crow laws and begin the struggle for equal rights for African Americans in the United States. Forms of civil disobedience included marches, sit-ins and boycotts.
