"Teedom" for All

I believe that the Civil Rights Movement is a great achievment, but it also is a bitter memory of our infamous past. Many of the people were motivated to fight for what they believed in. Even children, fought for the equality that they rightfully deserved. Kids that were only four years old would fight as well. I remember watching the video and seeing a little boy say "I want my Teedom". Motivation was something even little kids had. But the consequences of what they did was severe. Watching the kids being hosed broke my heart. I believe the lesson learned from our past is that racial intolerance leads to violence. In other words, discriminating on others either consciously or unconsciously will eventually lead to violence. 

People in the past struggled with equality and equity. People in the present still struggle with that problem today. Not all people make the same money at work and most people don't even make enough money to meet their needs. Some people get better treatment than others and even more people  never get the fair share of what they rightfully deserve. The past and the present might be different, but the connection is still eminent.

In the past, people struggled for there freedom and equality. African  Americans were definitely treated unfairly and unjustly. Not only that, but they also did not make as much money and was not as respected as white people. In the present, the problem of equality has been some what diminished but equity is still a major problem. Not a lot of people have enough money to keep food on their tables. Other people are chosen over others for jobs or positions in power or at schools. Equality's problems have lessened but the problems of equity is still there.
