以投票創造改變 Voting for Change

民權運動在1964年大有進展,馬丁路德金恩榮獲諾貝爾和平獎國會也於同年通過了公民權法案,法律規定因膚色不同而在購屋、租屋或到餐廳吃飯等時給予差別待遇,是違法的行為;但僅是制訂法律並未能讓非裔美國人的生活都能變好。

The civil rights movement had a big year in 1964. Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This law made it illegal to treat people differently because of the color of their skin when they were trying to buy a house, rent an apartment or go to a restaurant, for example. But passing this law did not always make things better for African-Americans.
