Dr. Ronald C. Woods said there has been a change, but there is still work to be done. African - Americans are now in the arena of politics, and mainstream society as far as jobs and higher education. American study programs and awareness of African - American history which is good. All can agree that our society has work that still needs to be done before true equality can be reached. Both Walker and Woods agree that knowledge, more openness of racial relations to breakdown stereotypes are needed to build the equal society Dr. King talked about.
Ignorance causes people to hate each other.
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish as fools. Martin Luther King, Jr.
