以投票创造改变 Voting for Change

民权运动在1964年大有进展,马丁路德金恩荣获诺贝尔和平奖国会也于同年通过了公民权法案,法律规定因肤色不同而在购屋、租屋或到餐厅吃饭等时给予差别待遇,是违法的行为;但仅是制订法律并未能让非裔美国人的生活都能变好。

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.
