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
