Here are a few good sites to visit to learn more of Civil Rights.
The Civil Rights Museum http://www.civilrightsmuseum.org/gallery/gallery1.asp you can look at the exhibits and read about important events. If you read about a certain event (Montgomery Bus Boycott, Sit Ins, Ole Miss, etc) it will give you people's names and events that you search for more information.
Here is a different site "for kids" but it has good pictures and easy reading for you.

Birmingham Civil Rights Institute http://www.bcri.org/resource_gallery/interview_segments/index.htm# has great resources for research, but this link goes to directly to their Oral History Project where you can see and read interviews of key people involved in the civil rights movement, not just the main people you hear and read about.
Civil Rights Memorial opens with Dr. Martin Luther King speaking
http://www.tolerance.org/memorial/ just go through this site at your leisure. It is very moving.
Selma to Montgomery also known as "Bloody Sunday" You can see what the bridge looks like today and pictures from that fateful day.
