Assignment: Research Affirmative Action
The 1960s has become synonymous with the words "activism," "turbulence," "violence," and "resistance." This era was marked by a culture of exclusion for many Americans and the opposition to these exclusions. The Civil Right Act emerged at this time, and has grown into what we now call Affirmative Action.
Submit 1200 to 1500 words on affirmative action and the impact it has had on diversity work.

o What is the connection between past and present diversity work? In your opinion, has there been a steady progression in all areas?
o Is it possible for one to be an advocate for diversity and not support affirmative action policies? Why or why not?
o Is affirmative action still needed to advance diversity work? In your opinion, what would happen if it was eliminated?
