Race Relations in America

What do you think the term United State stands for? When I asked some of my friends, the majority answers I received were people unite in America and help to grow this country. They were right, but that was just a small piece in a whole picture. United Nations means many people from different races and ethnicity join together in America and help to build this country. But, today is a result of difficult process in the past, it includes blood, sweat and lives in order for the future generations to be equal and cooperate with each others.

Let’s take a few steps back to the civil war, the battle between North and South or also known as against slavery and support slavery. The main leader for the south was also our fourth POTUS, Abraham Lincoln. The result of the war were 13th, 14th and 15th were ratified. These Amendments provide black right to vote, no more slavery, etc… Let’s get to a little bit nearer, President FDR ended segregation in the military and MLK tried to end racism. There were many effort in the past to end racism, many had success and some had failed, but something is always better than nothing.

Racism is still here today but it has been subsided. We now have a first black President. Black  earned the same rights as White. People from different countries go to school together and help each other out. Asian, African or American are all the son and daughter of Mother Nature. “United we stand. Divided we fall”
