:My favorite aspect of the Civil Rights Movement is how Congress, realizing that African Americans were not treated as equals to White Americans in this county, passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  This Act outlawed discrimination based upon race, religion, color, or gender.  No longer could employers deny an African American a job because of his color.  People should be hired based on knowledge and ability, not their color.  (Nick DeJ.)

:I was most impressed by the case brought by the NAACP known as Brown v. Board of Education.  The result of this legal battle was that the Supreme Court ruled that segregation of blacks and whites in public schools was unconstitutional.  I think was milestone for African Americans.  The “separate but equal” policy that had been upheld to this point makes no sense. To me.  This Supreme Court decision helped give blacks a chance for a better education and better lives in general.  (Mark DeJ.)

:Yes, I think that criminals deserve the rights the Warren Court granted.  Everyone has the right to defend themselves, and if you can’t afford a lawyer, then you can’t defend yourself.  The government should definitely provide a lawyer for criminals so they can have a fair trial.  I like the Miranda Warning too, which lets the person know what they can and can’t do. (Sarah W.)

:I think communism theoretically sounds good to some people but in reality is quite bad.  It is bad because you pretty much give everything up to the government.  In a communist society, the government controls the economy.  Communism rejects capitalism.  There is only one political party – the communist party.  Any form of opposition is suppressed.  The media is restricted.  People do not enjoy religious freedom.  There is no way to better yourself.  There are not as many options in a communist society as there are in a capitalist society. ...  (Mark DeJ.)
