The civil rights museum is magnificent. I love the fact the museum preserved the outside exactly the way it looked in April, 1968. 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 today’s society, I guess having enough…

In America the woman in the 1970,s were almost never respected and always limited from being a mother at home as well as their workplace. Woman never had a chance from the start. They were expected to get married in their early 20s and devote her time and energy to running the household. Woman basically had one purpose be the keeper of her kids or her husband. Woman devoted most of their time taking of the kids and spent around 55 hours a week cleaning the house and whatever else she needed to…

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%…

Oregon, the American labor movement stood at a critical crossroad in the 1920s as union membership fell in the face of economic prosperity and businesses who fostered a public fear of unions as anarchistic and unpatriotic. With establishment of the National War Labor Board, the government sought to “arbitrate disputes between workers and employers in order to ensure labor reliability” during World War” (Martínez-Matsuda 1 October 2015) which enforced political reform in improving the living and…

respect and responsibility. He wants white people to start to treat their black counterparts with the same praise and dignity that they give each other.

He claims that when it comes to racism, “many of them, indeed, know better, but, as you will discover, people find it difficult to act on what they know“ (9). Baldwin is also not…

world is constantly aiming its decisions among color, a simple matter that presides with too many hidden details. Specifically, the color of human flesh tends to dictate a large portion of society’s ‘rules’ or actions towards treatment of one another. Many people have adapted affirmative action to counter mistreatment of minorities despite its flaws. 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…

unnecessary advantage to the minority races in America. 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…

Once we do this we can turn our attention to common enemies and focus on ways to make out country better. Beth Virnig’s “A Matter of Race: Early-Versus Late-Stage Cancer Diagnosis” discusses the inequalities between whites and African Americans…

The American industrial worker was heavily impacted by the technology changes, the increase in immigration, and the creation of labor unions that happened between 1865 and 1900. The development of new technology in communication, steel production, and transportation led to the creation of new businesses and jobs, and it helped many existing businesses expand. This increase of businesses resulted in more jobs, and this influenced many people from other countries to migrate to America. The…
