Civil Rights Act of 1964

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 "outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." (Wikipedia). These behaviors no longer take place legally in the United States of America, and illegal instances are few and far between. This is likely because of the improvement in American morality seen over the years as well as the forced altruism of capitalism. Media should be used to shine a light on injustice wherever it may be found, and existing laws should be enforced. I enjoyed the movie that we watched in class today. It was put together very cleanly, and their mix of modern and archival footage properly delivered a powerful story. Dr. King and President Kennedy were both very engaging speakers.
