The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the main events in the 1960’s because changed the life of many people, mainly to the African-American. As a minority person I guess I can understand how it feel to be discrimated, however I can’t compare with thoses humilitation that many African-American people faced in that era. Thanks to this act was prohibited the racial descrimination in the USA.  I want to mention that behind a great event also there are a great leaders, in this case I would like to  mention the former President John F. Kennedy who took the initiative of this new law, as well as Martin Luther King, who was the voice of this act and who  represented the African-American people’s voice. How we can forget Lyndon Johnson, a white president who didn’t care that other white people was opnent to this law, he made this act a dream come true.

Now, we are in the year 2010 and unfortunately a lot people we still facing everyday a lot of racial discrimation. I hope the society we can learn that we don’t have to judge people for their skin color or just for their appareance, we gave to remember that thank God there are diversity in the society and we learn from that. We have to keep in mind that if we enjoy the present is because somebody suffered in the past.
