Equal Opportunity Employment without regard to
Race

This is a not-so- clear photo of the publicly displayed Equal

The same word in brail as an

This space is one of six in the staff
parking lot that are reserved for those with physical
limitations at the local technical college.
Six spaces are reserved for those who are physically impaired at

Each of the other buildings provide these spaces as well.

Without regard to Ethnicity
Two restaurants, a market,
an ethnic hair salon, and a laundry are all found in this one
shopping center in the heart of an historic community
This sign demonstrates the increased economic opportunity
because of the prohibition against discrimination because of
ethnicity. Nearby is a day care center that specializes in care
for non-Caucasian families.

Without regard to race
The rural community of Framingham, GA demonstrates the
opportunities for jobs in public safety without regard to race or

Summary of Progress in Athens
With just a bit of imagination and an hour of time, it was
possible to document changes in the areas equality without
regard to sex, age, race/ethnicity and disability.
One area left to explore is religion. I’ll be on the lookout in the
future for evidence of progress in this area—or lack thereof—as
I go about my daily business in my community.
