TKM takes place in the 1930's during segregation and before Dr. King's inspirational leadership. How has America changed from the years of TKM, the fight of Dr. King, and today? Should be 100-150 words.

America has changed a lot between the 1930's and the fight of Dr.Martin Luther King J.R. back in the 1930's most people didn't really understand the whole "segregation" thing so they kind of accepted it except for a few people who knew what was going on and decided to do something about it. As opposed to during DR.King's times when most black people started to learn about the rights they didn'tt have and needed to fight for and it took them a very long time to get those rights. Today there is almost no discrimination between race except for a few small groups that don't make much of an impact and some small places in the south still aren't very nice to black people but the way i see it is you can't eliminate racism 100% but you can ask people to change and most of the time they will. I hope racism becomes an even smaller threat with our new president Barack Obama but i also fear that if he doesn't do as good of a job as he says he will or people expect of him racism may worsen.
