When did the Civil Rights Movement end?

There is no "official" ending date for the Civil Rights
Movement the way there is for WWII (for example).  Many people would argue that the
movement continues today because non-whites are still disproportionately poor and suffer
from other inequalities.

There are three dates that might
be given as the end of the movement, but again, none of these is
official.

You could argue that it ended with the passage of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  That law outlawed most forms of segregation and was one of
the major goals of the movement.

You could argue that it
ended the next year with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  This was the
last major law having to do with rights.  (As opposed to later efforts that have
centered around economic issues and things like de facto
segregation.)

You could argue that it ended in 1968 when
its main leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. was
assassinated.

Most people would say that the Movement ended
sometime in the 1960s, but you could also argue that it continues to this
day.
