1875-The Civil Rights Act of 1875, outlawing discrimination in hotels, places of amusement, and other public conveyances, was passed by Congress; the House removed clauses banning discrimination in churches, schools, and cemeteries. How beneficial has it been not only to African Americans but the Country as a Whole?

There is only one problem with this act it was declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL in 1883 and not until 1964 was the act in force. This cause lots problems that are still in place today.

It seems to me that lately the country continues to deviate from these standards as far as possible and not to prosper, but to increase the problem. We began to forget about how the struggle for rights was born in our society and what a big step the same Rosa Parks took. It was from this moment that the active struggle for human rights began. And I didn't just mention it, because I recently watched some historical films on https://nerdbot.com/2021/10/15/the-best-films-to-watch-about-rosa-parks/ and I mentioned this historical character. It is necessary to go in protection of the rights on this way.

Loaded question Brother. Maybe what does civil rights mean to you in regards to the 1875 Act? How have we progressed as a country since then and into the Civil Right years of the 60's. How have we progressed or regressed as a country and as a people since getting "freedom"? I can give you a book that would "free" your mind. I can write laws, that would "free" you physically. If you do not take the time to read, understand, and teach others what I've done, then you're still working the fields, getting beat, and sold to the highest bidder with massa calling the shots. Many are not "free" yet. They know massa very well, but the only "freedom" they see is monetary "freedom" which doesn't always last long.

Racism is alive and well in the 21st century, Obama proved when he became President.

And as long as we have people of any skin color in power positions speaking out about one color verses another, there will be no change.
