The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241 (July 2, 1964), in the United States was landmark legislation outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Originally conceived to protect the rights of black men, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect the civil rights of all men and women.\n\nThe Act transformed American society. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. The "Jim Crow" laws in the South were abolished, and it became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Enforcement powers were initially weak, but they grew over the years, and later programs (such as affirmative action) were made possible by the Act.

If it is a short paper with no research requirement, go read the whole wikipedia article on boycott, plus the important links.   \nThere are a lot of recent boycotts that are controversial(Dixie Chicks), a lot of boycotts that changed society(Rosa Parks bus boycott).

Here is a good site that I use for research quite a bit. You can use this for all kinds of subjects, I have used it for current issues and past history.  I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

I'd say one was passage of the civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Delegates of a representative democracy (elected by a majority) voted for it.\n\nYou could extend that reasoning to cover everything from voting rights, to certain rights for illegal aliens, to SBA incentives for minorities to start businesses. \n\nI hope this is for school and you're cheating.

Hello - very interesting question. What kind of course is the paper for? Just curious. 10 pages should be absolutely no prob. \n\nYou could try Paul Fussell, "Class" (a painfully accurate guide through the American status system), 1983, for a humorous take on the topic. A bit dated, but still worth the read. There's a bibliography on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Class_in_American_History#20th_Century\nAs to gay marriage: You might be able to make something out of the recent vote on some proposals on gay marriage bans during the mid-term elections (e.g. Arizona). I'm sure there're statistics to be found.\n\nSome unasked advice (feel free to ignore it): Don't spread out too much, focus on one or two aspects, especially if you only have 10 pages; possibly give an outlook on other stuff you believe to be relevant at the end. Also, strictly scientifically speaking, it's a bit sus to set out to refute an assumption. You rather examine it and then varify it or show it to be erroneous according to your findings - anything else would be biased.\nHope this helps - good luck with your paper, I'd be interested to hear what you come up with. Cheers, Martin

Wellll, here is a site that offers an opinion on the subject.  Keep in mind that this is just one group's opinion; another group might come to a different conclusion:\n\nhttp://www.civilrightsproject.harvard.edu/research/reseg04/resegregation04.php\n\nThis will provide a good first step in developing your position/thesis.\n\nGood luck!

Wow...that would actually be a really cool essay to write.\n\nWhat class are you writing it for?  That might help you to decide what angle you want to approach it from.\n\nAll these men dedicated a portion of their lives trying to provide more equality for groups that suffered some form of societal injustice.  However, each man had a very different approach regarding how to achieve this.  You could talk about their relative strategies and the effectiveness of these strategies.

Haha,I just did an essay on it.....\nBut,it's wrong to claim someone else's essay as your own,so I can't write it for you.\nI can give you some pointers,though.\n\nWell,you can write on Tom Robinson(in general), write about Francis's and Aunt Alexandra's reaction to Atticus taking the case,about Cecil Jacob's fight with Scout.You can write about the fact that Negroes and whites sit in different places in the courtroom.\n\nThe whole book is practically all about racism,so it won't be hard AT ALL to find quotes and evidence.Good luck :)

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.

In the 60's when THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL was signed,they were miles apart.In the 40 some odd years since them let's hope they have grown to workable groups. As Americans we need those groups to succeed.In my latest readings, there is some evidence it is.
