In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Housman, the author talks about an athlete who dies at the height of his popularity and success. Most people find this situation sad, as the man was very young and most likely had much to live for still. However, the author argues that such a death does not necessarily need to be tragic. He tells us that the fact that the athlete died young means that he will forever be remembered as a success, and as the best version of himself.
This relates to the quote, as the quote also states that a death is only meaningful if a person is forgotten. However, as long as a person is remembered, the person is immortal. This means that the death is meaningless, and that glory can save a person from death.
According to the author, Registering with selective service is an important but onerous civic duty from which women have historically been excluded in the United States.

Answer and Explanation:
I believe you are referring to what happened to African Americans during the reconstruction of the south, when they were freed from slavery.
In that period, laws were established that prohibited African-Americans from being victims of discrimination and forced labor, although this still happened in society, especially episodes of discrimination. In addition, Africans have gained the right to vote, to be political representatives and to hold public office, as a reflection of their citizenship that was guaranteed through emancipation. Blacks could also participate in commerce, attend schools and own homes.
