The positives of the Civil Rights Movement were the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited racial discrimination in public facilities, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which banned discriminatory laws that prevented African Americans from voting. There were many other gains, such as the integration of public schools with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. The movement also led to a decline in the Ku Klux Klan and lynching, the murder of mostly black men for often imagined crimes. African Americans became more visible in the mainstream culture, and many began to embrace their African heritage.
