Political leaders stress issue of equal rights to win votes.
Society is just now breaking boundaries. People are being desegregated, women are now able to vote, and people of different race are being treated more equally. I am not obviously speaking for everyone. There still is tension between races and genders. Some people have different beliefs on gender and racial issues.
