Civil rights protect a person’s access to social opportunities, political participation and protection under the law. Examples of civil rights include the right to vote, the right to public education, the right to housing, the right to a fair trial and much more.

Throughout history, activists have fought against discrimination even when it puts their lives at risk. In this article, we\u2019ll go over 16 civil rights leaders everyone should know, including the \u201cBig Six\u201d of the Civil Rights Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
