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.
