History

The Civil Rights amendment was passed to prohibit discrimination in public accommodations and federally funded programs.

In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy requested an extensive civil rights package from Congress as a result of the widespread opposition to desegregation and the killing of Medgar Evers. Congress enacted the above law in 1964.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 deemed discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin as illegal. The provisions of the Act prohibited discrimination in workplace related to hiring, retaining or firing an employee on the basis of sex as well as race. Additionally, it strengthened the implementation of voting rights and school desegregation. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the holy grail for civil rights law in the United States and it continues to be relevant till date.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Se conoce como período de entreguerras o interbellum al periodo histórico del siglo XX que va de 1918 a 1939. Cronológicamente, se puede establecer desde el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial el 11 de noviembre de 1918 y el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial el 1 de septiembre de 1939.

A pesar de la relativa brevedad del periodo, éste representó una época de cambios significativos en todo el mundo. La producción de energía basada en el petróleo y la mecanización asociada se expandieron de forma espectacular, dando lugar a los locos años veinte, un periodo de prosperidad y crecimiento económico para la clase media de Norteamérica, Europa, Asia y muchas otras partes del mundo. Los automóviles, el alumbrado eléctrico y las emisiones de radio, entre otras cosas, se convirtieron en algo habitual entre las poblaciones del mundo desarrollado. Las indulgencias de la época fueron seguidas posteriormente por la Gran Depresión, una recesión económica mundial sin precedentes que perjudicó gravemente a muchas de las mayores economías del mundo.
