In a minimum of two paragraphs, explain what was the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and why was/is it important today? You are welcome to use outside sources to help your argument.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made discriminating against race, religion, or sex illegal. It benefits us today because now Women and people of color can vote, It abolished all slavery. Kennedy said " the US will not be free, unless all of its citizens are free"

no

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.

some american cities felt workers were being oppressed by business monopolies
