The United States comprises a variety of large minority groups. Many of these groups, including African Americans, have faced discrimination. From the 1870s until 1957, Congress did little to help ensure the civil rights of African Americans and other minorities. Although the legislature began passing civil rights acts in 1957, minority groups still face discrimination.
