Civil Rights Act of 1964

After the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, it became illegal to segregation in public places, and became illegal for an employer not to employ someone due to their race,sex,color,religion, or national origin.

I think that some of these behaviors still take place today with job opportunities, but it can be really hard to identify, if there really is racism or discrimination and the only people that now this are the ones that are giving out the jobs. Segregation in public places isn't really a racist thing and when it does happen, it is normally just because people are more likely to be friends or relate to someone that is similar to themselves.

I do not think there is much to pass these issues as laws have been passed to for the most part stop them and these laws have worked as well as one could expect.

The movie about the protests where children were being arrested and gunned down by fire hoses was very eye-opening  about the history of Alabama as the last time civil rights was even addressed in school in the United States was a tiny bit 3 years ago in 8th grade and before that 5th grade. It was inspring to see so many people collaborate and stand up for what they believe in, and take the risk of being beaten, jailed, or even killed just so they could stand up for what they believe in

Progressivism/Factory Fires

Today I looked up,"factory fires" in a newspaper archive. I found many results but ultimately decided upon a smaller story by the Brooklyn Eagle rather than a story by one of the large newspaper like the New York Times or The Sun. The Brooklyn Eagle talked about the Diamond Candy factory being caught on fire and dwarfed in flames. Upon inspection of the building, the owners Celia and Edward Diamond were found to be in strict violation of the fire code that had been installed after the Triangle Fire. 12 people lost their lives in the Diamond Candy factory fire, but the losses could have been much, much worse. The Brooklyn Eagle claims that an employee that was walking to the factory saw the fire and ran in and saved up to 75 distressed women, the fire marshall says that these women owe that man their lives. In court Celia Diamond plead guilty to second-degree attempted manslaughter, but had not yet been sentence, as I continuedd to search for what happened to her the only website with results claims that her and her husband were arrested for criminal negligence and homicide, but the source was not very credible. I found another article by the Brooklyn Eagle published in 1917 5 days after the original article. The case made it to the Supreme Court where Justice Callaghan suspended Celia's sentence due to her being "ruined financially, physically, and mentally".
