In 1954, the Supreme Court case ruled that segregation in public schools was no longer allowed. Then in 1964, the Civil Rights Act passed through President Kennedy stated that discrimination in any public place was also no longer allowed. After all these years of people fighting for equality and after the many laws that have been passed to enforce de-segregation, it still plagues our nation. Minority families, particularly in Chicago, live in the poorest neighborhoods that have the few resources for future generations to succeed in life. Chicago still remains the 2nd most segregation city in the country. Unfortunately, our communities have not learned to help each other so that everyone can be successful.
