Affirmative Action

by Alan Marzilli

Affirmative action was first instituted as part of the 1960s civil rights movement, with the goal of giving African Americans equal opportunities in business and education. Although it is rare to encounter blatant racism in America today, some advocates of affirmative action argue that the policy remains necessary in order to make the U.S. workforce more diverse.
