Minorities Should Truly Have Equality Discuss whether should truly have equality in the United States
The idea of working an additional four months to receive equal pay sounds absurd, but consider this reality: For African-American women, Equal Pay Day won’t be recognized until August 7th. For Native American and Latina women, Equal Pay Day won’t be recognized until September 7th and November 1st. (Equal Pay Day for Asian American and Pacific Islander women was marked on February 22, but massive pay gaps persist between subgroups.) This means that women of color are overrepresented in jobs that pay the federal minimum wage of just $7.25 per hour.
