Obama signed two executive actions to try ensuring equal pay rights and to try strengthening the existing laws. These will make it easier for workers to see how much their colleagues are making. Being able to access this information will allow workers to see if they are actually being compensated fairly for their work or not. These actions are mostly for the purpose of making sure women are being paid equally for equal work. These are being filed as a part of the "Equal Pay Day."

Discrimination Homework

What is happening in the picture?
Many Native Americans are packed up and traveling down a dusty road. There is somebody passed out along the side of the road in need of some attention or help. Many are forced to walk along this road, as there are very few stagecoaches.

What is going on in America during this time?
The Trail of Tears; American settlers are taking all the land previously possessed by the Native Americans. They force the Native Americans westward in order to allow the settlements to expand.

What do the people's faces reflect?
They are crying and all have faces in agony or sadness. The woman with the most emphasis is wiping away her tears with some piece of clothing. These faces suggest bitter depression and suffering.

Give an example of how this might happen today.
The U.S Government could pass legislation to take away all Indian Reservations and force them into homelessness. This racial persecution would be very similar to what is happening in this instance.
