For this assignment, you will conduct internet research about a significant person who was or is an advocate against racial, ethnic, LGBTQ+, or gender inequality. Choose a person who has had an impact on promoting equality, whether through philanthropy, civil rights, teaching, or lifestyle.

Answer these questions and include in-text citations and references.

Introduce the person. Discuss what led them to become an advocate.
Discuss which of the sociological views (i.e., conflict, interactionism, or functionalism) help to explain the type of inequality being addressed by the advocate.
Did their advocacy invoke a change and or influence others? Discuss why, or why not.
What lessons do you believe we can take away from this person and apply today?

Your case study must be a minimum of three, but no more than four pages in length. A title page, if used, and the reference page do not count toward the page requirement.

You are required to use at least three peer-reviewed or academic resources to support your case study, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Please note that wikis and blogs are not acceptable resources. All sources used must have in-text citations and references properly formatted in APA style.
