Black Equality: Reconstruction to the Present
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page assessment of the struggle for black equality. Tracing key historical developments, the
author demonstrates that the Civil Rights Movement only succeeded in propelling blacks to the same level they had briefly attained in the 1870’s, a
position of at least semi-equality. The opinions as to the extent of true equality in our country today, however, vary radically. Many blacks
point to such phenomena as police brutality and racial profiling as evidence that equality has yet to be achieved. These same blacks seem to have
limited faith in our government's insuring this equality. At the same time, however, many are working within the system to do just that.
