Throughout our history, the United States has struggled with the question of equality. The latter half of the twentieth century and the early part of the twenty-first century have witnessed numerous efforts to ensure equality, at least legally, for all Americans. However, as movements such as Black Lives Matter suggest, there is still much work to be done.
In this unit, we will explore the history of civil rights in America and the efforts of various minority groups to gain legal and social equality. We will evaluate the success of these movements and determine how today's inequalities can be addressed. Most essentially, we will determine whether or not it is the responsibility of the federal government to "fix" inequality.
