Throughout history, the fight for civil rights has fought against social, political, and economic discrimination. The movement has fought against segregation, disenfranchisement, and the deaths of workers. And with each generation progress has been made, from Seneca Falls to the steps of Lincoln Memorial. Today our generation faces a civil rights struggle of our own, as unjust laws have split apart and deported undocumented families and youth, as demagogues have attempted to divide-and-conquer our great nation, pinning worker against worker, white against black and documented against undocumented. Much like the Jim Crow laws of the past, new unjust and discriminatory laws are being passed, with the intent to tell those who differ from white-anglo-saxon-protestants that they are not welcome, that they cannot pursue the American Dream, that they cannot pursue higher education, that they cannot even drive — all because we deny them the opportunity of Citizenship.
