Civil rights leaders wouldn’t be pleased with society today
Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements and sacrifices of African Americans. But, how do we genuinely celebrate when so many of us fall short of the vision that civil rights leaders stood for? The civil rights leaders who fought for us wouldn’t be pleased with society today. They fought for justice, peace, and equality. However, it seems that there's no justice, peace, nor equality within our own race. For over fifty years, we've been marching for progression but there has been little progress.
