Abstract or Introduction
The harsh treatment African Americans have endured in recent years has devastated many. There is nothing wrong with black people; they are like any other race. Even after all these years and what African-Americans have gone through due to racism in the 1970s and 1980s, you would think so. For African Americans and other minorities, 1964 was a pivotal year in American history. They were hopeful that the days of social injustice and prejudice based on country or race would come to an end. The United States was legally acknowledged after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Houston, 2018). Segregation in the United States was to be abolished, and all citizens of the United States were to be granted full liberty. In this paper, I will examine how civil rights have benefited African Americans by evaluating the historical justice surrounding events, their impact on the African American experience, and the actions attempted to remedy the issue.
