This is important in history because of all of the events that changed the way how society was before. It showed how each and everyone of us can work together as one that didn't matter on what you're color or nationality was. It showed how everyone can be equal. Since everyone worked together as one in the wars, at home they decided to work together against discrimination to fight the war at home. It started the beginning of other movements too such as the Chicano Movement, Native American Movement, and the Feminist Movement. It was the beginning point were every nationality wanted equal rights as well. It was and still is a memorable event because of how effective it was. If we didn't have these movements our lives would of not been the same, people wouldn't have the same rights as others, people would be poor because they couldn't get good jobs that paid well, everyone would be discriminated from each other and it wouldn't show that the United States is equal in freedom. Since the movement was a success, a lot of people are equal in jobs, school, and in society. A lot of things made everyone equal and in the 21st century our president is the first African American named Barack Obama and it has a big impact on society. In sports a lot of players are mixed between African American, white, Asian, and other nationalities which showed that there was equality as well in sports. Before school teams used to be one nationality like Whites and Blacks going against each other. It was truly a amazing event and it will never be forgotten about.
