Assignment:

Throughout U.S. history, the fight for Civil Rights has been a consistent struggle between underprivileged or disenfranchised groups and those in political power. Each of the Civil Rights movements that we discussed in class has looked to the Federal Government as the key actor in restoring and protecting their rights in the face of state and local efforts to discriminate or disenfranchise their particular group. In your opinion, when compared to states and localities, is the Federal Government still the primary advocate for Civil Rights in the United States today? If so, how does that manifest today? If not, what or who is the primary advocate for Civil Rights and why?
