There were cars parked in front of the motel to give a feel as if we were there on the day of his assassination and a wreath was placed where Dr. King was shot. When we got inside the museum there were posted scenes of slavery from the time it began to the time it ended. The museum was very organized with heavy security.

In 1961, Affirmative Action was set in place. It was started to help protect minorities, women and now those within the LGBT community. We have had great strides with equality within our country, but there is still a need for this act. According to The Leadership Conference, we still need affirmative action due to the fact “white men make up for 48% of the college-educated workforce but hold over 90% of the top jobs in the news media, 96% of CEO positions, 86% of law firm partnerships, and 85%…

The early twentieth century was marked as one of most prosperous eras in American history where the American economy had risen to become one of the wealthiest on the planet. While the rapid expansion of American capitalism led to profound wealth for many in the ruling class, the unjust treatment of workers and labor unions demonstrated the limits of prosperity during 1910s and 1920s.

In a 2013 Princeton poll, it is stated that “two-thirds of Americans believe college applicants should be admitted solely based on merit, even if…

In a 2009 Pew Poll, “58% of African Americans agree” and only “22% whites agree” that there should be “preferential treatment to improve the position of blacks and other minorities.” Today affirmative action and other racial injustices tend to be in the spotlight quite often, such as the “Fisher v University of Texas at Austin” case which highlighted that many highly qualified white prospective students are passed over for less qualified…
