To the immigrant woman that blatantly ignored me twice at the door:
During the Civil Rights Era, African Americans actively supported immigrant rights and advocated for immigration reforms, seeing a shared struggle against discrimination and injustice. Their efforts led to the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act), which significantly reformed U.S. immigration policy by eliminating national origins quotas and favoring family reunification and skilled labor. Here's how African Americans helped: Advocacy for Immigration Reform: African Americans, through organizations like the NAACP and other civil rights groups, actively lobbied for changes to immigration laws that discriminated against people of color. They argued that these discriminatory quotas were akin to the racial discrimination they faced in the US. Challenging Racial Quotas: The Civil Rights Movement's fight against racial segregation and discrimination directly impacted immigration policy. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, abolished the national origins quota system, which had favored European immigrants. Supporting Immigrant Rights: African Americans, facing their own struggles for equality, recognized the shared experiences of discrimination faced by immigrants. They supported immigrant rights organizations and joined forces with Latino and Asian communities in advocating for more inclusive immigration policies. Outreach and Collaboration: Some African American community and legislative leaders collaborated with Hispanic leaders to support liberalized immigration policies, highlighting the shared struggle for equality. Many historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) actively recruited students from Hispanic communities, demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity. Promoting Human Rights: The Civil Rights Movement's emphasis on human rights and equal treatment under the law resonated with the immigrant community. African Americans' fight for civil rights helped to broaden the understanding of human rights and equality to...
Read moreMy family and I were on vacation and needed a place to get food while stopping for the night in Moab. We chose Moab Grill. We were seated party quickly when we arrived. However, it took a good 15 minutes before our server came to our table to see about drinks. The server seemed a bit short with us and it came across rude. We finally got our order for food in after another 10 minutes of waiting. We then waited another 10 minutes, only to have the server come tell us she forgot to put our order in and that it would be a bit while they started on it. To make up for this she offered to comp our drinks. Which was silly as 2 of us had water and only one got a pop. I would like to say the food ended up being worth the wait, but it was not. I ordered pot roast and asked for no corn and fries instead of them and mashed potatoes. My order came out with fries and corn. I asked about it and was told that's what I ordered. It was not, but I want going to push it. My daughter ordered an over priced steak. It was barely edible. They was so much fat and gristle that most of the steak couldn't be eaten. It was the worst steak I've seen. My wife got chicken fried steak and it was actually pretty decent. One of the best she has had. The bill came and nothing was comped and no further apologizes or anything from the server.
Overall it was really disappointing. Most of the reviews here are accurate in that there seems to be some serious inconsistencies with the food and service. I would not recommend this place and will not go back if I'm...
Read moreToday: First of all - this is a breakfast place and not a sports bar, so I was confused that the world cup was blaring throughout the entire place. Not everyone wants to listen to that, you should probably dedicate just one area. Second of all - our server wiped his nose with a tissue and threw it out and didn't wash or use hand sanitizer. Gross. Third - the food was tasteless. The breakfast potatoes were cooked barely soft and the peppers were crunchy. The bacon was burnt.
I tried to give this place a try with the new owners but after 4 years it's the same old thing. Too bad the Moab diner isn't open Sundays.
4 years ago: While the restaurant was kind of busy, I would still expect good service because what, is a restaurant supposed to be never busy to ensure good service? The hamburger my friend ordered was severely undercooked. The Reuben sandwich was mostly cheese, they don’t even have 1000 island dressing, just don’t serve Reuben’s then. Same with the pastrami, just oozing with more cheese than anything. Glasses were dirty, silverware was dirty. ’ll go elsewhere next time, I had heard good things but I was pretty upset about the quality of food and the fact the waiter said “we’re busy, sorry”. It’s moab, it’s busy most of the year, everywhere else seems to...
