Prejudice and human rights in the American South: what are the differences between the 1930s and nowadays?I need some points and details about it,...

I think that there is still a great deal of prejudice in
the south today - much more so than in parts of the north, but as the previous
respondent noted there is no clear statistical data to assist you in your analysis. What
there is, however, is a history of legislation that did not exist then but that does
exist today. Legislation, however, does not change human behavior, attitudes, or
perceptions. It simply mitigates the degree to which people act on their feelings. It is
illegal to discriminate in the United States on the basis of race when it comes to
education or employment. However, there are still businesses that do discriminate
quietly. There are anti-lynching laws that protect against assault, there are hate
crimes laws, too. However, these laws only act as a deterrent or as a means of
punishment after the fact. For the victim who has suffered or been murdered, the law is
virtually meaningless. Essentially, the primary difference lies in the fact that
prejudicially-motivated discrimination is no longer legalized but in many places it is
still socially accepted.
