Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
— Nelson Mandela.
For my blog post, I am going to be talking about the Civil Rights policy. But more specifically about Affirmative Action. This policy has stirred controversy and has gained a lot of attention, both from Civil Rights activists and from the general population. Affirmative Action was supposed to “change” African American futures and “erase” any injustice. The goal was to create equality, but it actually did the opposite. For me, as a Black female, I faced so much bias just for my race and sex. And Affirmative Action hits a soft spot for me.
