The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, sex, religion,or national origin.Whites were no longer legally able to segregate blacks. Also,giving blacks and women less opportunity as the white man became illegal.
I think that some of these behaviors do still take place today because some people still are raised too discriminate. I think these behaviors are still taking place because of stereotypes. These stereotypes have created prejudice thoughts about certain race or sex that aren't completely true. I also think these behaviors still take place because there no one to stop them.
I think to help the issues people should really get to know a person before judging the person.
In the movie, the bravery of the children to sacrifice their lives for freedom was so amazing. The children seem to have no fear and took pride in this movement. I never knew children had such a big part in the civil right movement until watching this movie. Bull Connors had a scary amount of power. The fact that the KKK was in the police force and other groups shows how the city of Birmingham was. The blacks had zero power while the whites controlled everything.
