Back then America welcomed immigrants from the world, problems of racial segregation for multiple minority groups. Women and people with disabilities have also fought for fairness and equality. Minority groups in America have experienced discrimination and racism. And he had to stand up to be treated as an equal. How did minority groups such as immigrants, women, and African Americans struggle to become full citizens? And what were the main points of this trip?
