The movement used a variety of tactics, including nonviolent protest, boycotts, and sit-ins. The Civil Rights Movement achieved a number of important victories, including the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However, the movement also faced significant opposition, and it was often met with violence.
