African Americans want change!

   African Amercian have struggled with their rights throught the years. They have had rights with conditions that were hard to meet. Many changes have been brought to the African American group especially their rights

.
   Segregation is the main reason for the African Amercian struggles. The fight for the end of segregation was long and hard . Things finally started to change when schools and public transportation began to desegregate. In 1954 all schools in the United States were to be intergrated and in 1956 buses were also intergregated. Now after 40 years the African American group are seeing the change that has made history. The change that the African American group have experienced have been positive ones. The first African American  sercertary of state was Colin Powell and the first
African Amercian women secretary of state was Condoleeszza Rice. Finally today we are able to say we have an African American president, Barack Obama. Still unfortunately the African American group is looked down on and struggle to escape the stereotypes.

   The struggles of the African American have made then stronger and has gotten them to where they are today. The journey of this group serves as an example of how discrimination is wrong and shows this country to learn from it's mistakes. African Amercians are now finally getting the recognition they deserve.
