On July 15th, 23 seniors from the YWCAQueens went to the Queens Museum in Flushing. Though almost 100 degrees outside, the group was cool, relaxed and joyful as they marveled at the Tiffany Exhibit and the New York Panorama! We spotted Flushing Meadow Park! More trips in the works for these youthful seniors.

On this day in 1964, the Civil Rights Act became law—prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment, education, and public accommodations. Its passage was driven by courageous activists and leaders who refused to accept injustice and fought tirelessly for change. Today, as civil rights protections face renewed challenges and attacks, this anniversary carries even deeper meaning. It reminds us that progress is not guaranteed—and that the fight for justice must continue. Join YWCA USA in honoring the legacy of the Civil Rights Act by recommitting to protect and advance equality for all. #CivilRightsAct #YWCA
