 * Bill of Rights**

The most important achievements of African-American civil rights movements have been the post-Civil War constitutional amendments that abolished slavery and established the citizenship status of blacks and the judicial decisions and legislation based on these amendments, notably the Supreme Court's **Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka** decision of 1954, the B>Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Moreover, these legal changes greatly affected the opportunities available to women, nonblack minorities, disabled individuals, and other victims of discrimination. http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_017100_civilrightsm.htm
