Dans le sud des États-Unis, jusqu'aux années 1960, des lois imposaient la ségrégation : écoles, bus et restaurants séparés pour les Noirs et les Blancs. En 1955, à Montgomery (Alabama), Rosa Parks refuse de céder sa place à un passager blanc dans un bus ; son arrestation déclenche un boycott des bus mené par un jeune pasteur, Martin Luther King. Partisan de la non-violence, il prononce en 1963, lors de la marche sur Washington, le célèbre discours « I have a dream ». Le Civil Rights Act de 1964 interdit la ségrégation. King reçoit le prix Nobel de la paix en 1964 et est assassiné en 1968.
