MLK and equal rights blog/vlog

This is the written version of the group vlog in which I recorded for my segment.
 
For this first video log, team 4 will be discussing the laws that were around during the time of Martin Luther King Jr. Specifically laws that promoted equality and removed any form of segregation from existence. A very important act that resonated during the time of Martin Luther King Jr., was the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This Act prohibits discrimination against sex, race, religion, and national origin. The passing of this act ended the harsh Jim Crow laws which were basically racial segregation laws. Employees are protected against this act in regards to sex, race, religion, and national origin. They are also protected against retaliation against their employers for acting against them if they were to file a discrimination complaint based on those topics.
