Question: Where can I find a timeline for Civil Rights legislation in the U.S?

Answer: A lot has happened over the years regarding Civil Rights. Legislation has been passed, challenged, amended and updated. One website has created a neat Civil Rights timeline. Starting in 1954 with the Brown vs. Board of Education supreme court case, it takes you through 2003, where the most recent Affirmative Action case upheld race as a factor in the college selection process. Also see a timeline on Affirmative Action.
