Equal Protection for Other Groups Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to:
Discuss the discrimination faced by Hispanic/Latino Americans and Asian Americans Describe the influence of the African American civil rights movement on Hispanic/Latino, Asian American, and LGBT civil rights movements Describe federal actions to improve opportunities for people with disabilities Describe discrimination faced by religious minorities Many groups in American society have faced and continue to face challenges in achieving equality, fairness, and equal protection under the laws and policies of the federal government and/or the states. Some of these groups are often overlooked because they are not as large of a percentage of the U.S. population as women or African Americans, and because organized movements to achieve equality for them are relatively young. This does not mean, however, that the discrimination they face has not been as longstanding or as severe.
