Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'affirmative action'

Affirmative action refers to policies that aim to increase representation of underrepresented groups in areas of employment, education, and business from which they have been historically excluded. These measures emerged primarily in the United States during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as attempts to address systematic discrimination and promote diversity. In alternate history scenarios, variations in affirmative action policies often reflect different paths of social progress, civil rights movements, and governmental approaches to addressing historical inequities.
