Abstract
As bad as race relations in the United States may be, we have since the 1950s at least moved in the direction of making some effort, through public policy, to reduce inequality and increase opportunities for people of color, women, the disabled, and gays. Various federal initiatives, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act and, more recently, the Americans with Disabilities Act have carried our society further toward the goal of protecting the rights of minority citizens.
