An analysis of the socio-legal effects of the Civil Rights Movement, public policy and its impact on diverse racial and ethnic populations in the U.S. will be addressed. A historical and sociological assessment of majority-minority relations with emphasis on the experiences of African-Americans, Hispanic/Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans and indigenous Native Americans, and mixed-race populations will be discussed.
