1962-02-12

1960-1969

Lucille Everett, an 11th grader, wrote a high school paper on February 12, 1965, about the Civil Rights Bill passed in 1964. The high school paper critiques the purpose of the Civil Rights and the bill's practicality for African American citizens. Everett scrutinizes the bill for only benefiting the wealthiest and middle-class African Americans while it leaves the lower-class African Americans out. Everett talks about how little the bill does for African Americans and keeps the social and economic conditions for African Americans the same. 4 pages.
