civil rights march
Justice protest walk
A civil rights march is an organized public demonstration where participants walk together to demand equal rights and protections under the law, particularly for marginalized groups.
The term evokes the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, when marches like the 1963 March on Washington became powerful tools for challenging racial segregation and discrimination: Thousands joined the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery.
