The term "civil rights" refers to the rights that citizens should have in a country and the equality that they should receive. In this video, "civil rights" is specifically referring to the "Civil Rights Movement", which was a period of time throughout the 1950s and 1960s in the United States where black Americans fought for social justice and equality under the law in the United States.
