1974‚ a woman could not apply for her own credit card. Until the 1960s‚ African Americans could be restricted from basic rights based on the color of their skin. Does this sound like liberty and justice for all? These strides in social justice were made recently. It is hard to imagine what life was like for people during America’s burgeoning years.
