Lesson Topic
The Civil Rights of Other Minority Groups: Some Issues & Actions
Lesson Outline
Civil rights are liberties and freedoms that everyone should have. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes that all humans are born with these civil rights and should benefit as such. Women and African Americans are not the only people who have fought for civil rights. Other minority groups have benefited from civil rights because the laws protect them from various forms of discrimination. Workplace, housing, public spaces, and voting rights are now available to all people regardless of race, gender, nationality, etc. due to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Still, some groups have had to wait longer for more benefits. For example, Hispanics gained more access to voter registration when an amendment to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave them access to voter registration materials in their native language. Civil rights in modern times focuses on expanding opportunities and ensuring equal representation for all citizens.
