An introductory survey of the government's role in America's
continuing drive for equality. Today's lingering inequalities,
particularly the "American dilemma" of racism, runs throughout U.S.
history. Equal Protection provides readers with a historical
overview of the controversies over the issue of equality, an
understanding of how government-and, particularly, the courts and
Congress-has reacted to these controversies, and the role these
issues have played in shaping U.S. society. This volume follows the
push for equal treatment regardless of age, gender, disabilities,
economic status, or sexual orientation. It focuses on legislation
such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, and political
initiatives and movements such as The Great Society, the ERA, and
the War on Poverty. Here are American's interpretations of equal
rights, then and now. Includes a section of A-Z entries covering
people, laws, events, judicial decisions, statutes, and concepts
related to equal protection in the United States Primary source
documents include court decisions, executive orders, and
legislation that shaped the status of equal protection in our
society today
