Rights Act in America was passed in 1964 but this was not all that occurred. The passed act did not fulfill the desires of the social activists because it did not have any impact on voting and the African Americans’ rights were not necessarily guaranteed. For this reason, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed. Segregation was abolished on public transport due to the repercussions of the bus boycott and jobs were offered to the African American people. Prior to the passing of the two acts in America

Clyde (1967), revolutionized the movie industry by producing a motion picture mixed with graphic violence, humor, and moral ambiguity.

Television shows have been a big part of our culture for several decades now. The progression on how these shows have affected our lives is something I’ve come to wonder about.
