Civil Rights Act of 1964

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin.  It also banned segregation in schools, the work place, and facilities that serve the public.  I do believe some of these behaviors still exist today because of the wage gap between men and women in America.  I believe that women's income should increase until it is equal with men's.  I thought it was very interesting how the children of Birmingham were able to have such a huge impact on a national issue.  I also enjoyed seeing how empowered the kids were able to feel at a young age.  I expect to learn even more about the children's march and what happened afterwards on the field trip tomorrow.
