Post–civil rights era in African-American history

In African-American history, the post–civil rights era is defined as the time period in the United States since the Congressional passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, major federal legislation that ended legal segregation, gained federal oversight and enforcement of voter registration and electoral practices in states or areas with a history of discriminatory practices, and ended discrimination in the renting and buying of housing. Politically, African Americans have made substantial strides in the post–civil rights movement era.
