What I’ve learned from civil rights is that we have come a long way to be where we are at right now with our rights as citizens we are all the same we just look different and some people don’t accept that and so they get privileges taken away for how they look, how much they have, their back ground, and where they come from. African Americans for example they were beaten pushed around put in jail for standing up for what they believe in. There were many protests to make a change and that’s how we got to where we are now even though there is a lot of in equality left in the world we have gotten farther than if these people did not stand up an speak up for what is right and wrong.
When you think about it and look around people naturally segregate themselves it’s not intentional but it just has to do with your comfort zone you would hang out with a bunch of people you have nothing in common with that’s just how life is. SOME people may do it on purpose but that’s them and how they were brought up. Like in Palo Alto there is a lot of white people and in Pleasanton there are lot of white people too and like what Mr. Shawn had discussed with us there where a lot of whites in Fremont too but they moved to the other places. It wasn’t intentional it was just a sense of comfort level.
The ideas of civil rights movement is connected to today because we went through a struggle with getting this far with equality even though we are still fighting it has made a big difference over the years. There are still protests that are happening right now at a bunch of collages. People still look at people differently because of there color of ethnicity but we have gone really far with that goal for equality and no discrimination. There is still many things going on following up to civil rights but we have achieved a distance for our goal towards equality with civil rights.
