Preferred term

racial justice  

Definition

  • THOUGH RACIAL JUSTICE overlaps with civil rights, the overlap is not complete. Civil rights encompass non-racial issues, and though the Civil Rights Movement responded principally to race-based problems, in American politics the fight for civil rights has included the rights of women, homosexuals, and non-ethnic minorities, as well as rights denied and owed to all citizens.
