28、iants. Continue the conversation about racism with Bruce Hornsbys “The Way It Is“. (10) The song refers to the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. Though this law gave legal rights to people of color, the lyrics remind us that “the law doesnt change anothers mind“ when it comes to prejudice. In this le
