The civil rights act was an act that made it so people and schools couldn't discriminate between things like race, gender, religion, etc.

This act prohibited segregation of races, in schools, work, bathrooms, and all public places. To continue doing these things would be a violation of the constitution. This also prohibited discrimination during employment.

I believe behaviors like this happen around the world, especially with women, because of some peoples religious views, but in America I don't see any segregation. The behavior that I know takes place in the US would definitely be racism, just because many people are ignorant.

What should be done is discrimination and segregation should be banned around the world, just like Kennedy did, so that everyone can have equal rights. With the issue of racism, I don't believe anything can be done, because it is mainly an individualized thing, but time may help change people's views as generations come.

I really enjoyed the movie, because it opened my eyes to how bad the issue was, and showed me the full extent of what was happening so close to home. The movie gave me chills multiple times. I have high expectations for the field trip, because after the movie I think I will be able to recognize and identify many things and places that we will be seeing.
