Some of the events of the civil rights movement are Brown v. Board of Education, Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Southern school desegregation. The Brown v. Board of Education is the schools are separate and they are not equal. It leads to challenging segregation and breaking the Jim Crew Law. They ended up closing the school. The Southern school desegregation is similar with the Brown v. Board of Education. The schools were divided into Blacks and Whites after the Brown v. Board of Education. The Whites were rallying to get the Blacks out of the school. From these two events, we can see there are racism and people segregate each other. All these still happen today in the world.
Today, we still struggle with the problem of equity and equality. Equity is the way to get to equality. But people are usually not treated equally base on their race and skin color, that is why people still fight to get their rights back. There are always unfairness out there in our society and we might have also experienced that before. The unfairness might cause difficulty when people apply to schools or jobs, and all these related to institutional racism. Everyone should have the same opportunity but in real life, it is not true because of our race or skin color. For example, a White student has a higher chance to get into a college compare to an African American student because of their races. People usually think African Americans are not as smart as the others, and Whites are always better than the other races. People can't be treated equally because of these American ideologies. These ideologies were past to us from the past and people have their mind stick with these ideologies although they are not true all the time. Some people still stand up and fight for their rights to gain back their equality. For example, the Gay Liberation Movement, people stand out for their sexual orientation and try to gain their rights back! They want to be treated equally like everyone and want the society to accept them. They are also human like us, why can't we treat them equally and accept them?
