What kind of equal rights do we have right now that we didn’t have in the past? How does that affect us today? (Ana)

In the past women did not have rights. They could not vote they could not work they could just basically stay at home go to the store or gossip. Back then women were thought little of and were not given a chance to show men what they could do that is until World War II. After that women were given a chance to work and do things that normally men would do.

Another right was that colored people were not allowed to do anything with white people. They were drinking fountains, bathrooms, stores, and other places ad things that only colored people could use. There were also things and places white people could go and use. Nowadays it doesn’t matter what color you are. Although some people still live like they use to back in the day, most of the country doesn’t really worry about the color of people.

There were also slaves that were colored people. That was before the segregation against them started. Now a day you see any color out in the field, but back then you only saw dark skin people out working in the field. Not only just dark skin people were taken against but also light skin colored people. Although they were given different jobs inside they were still worked hard.

Our rights nowadays are given equally to every citizen. Everyone is treated the same and they have to work for what they have and not just have it given to them.
