Philip Klinkner And Rogers Smith's 'The Unsteady March: The Rise And Decline Of Racial Equality In America'
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. To understand the depth and breadth of truth to what Philip Klinkner and Roger Smith espouse in their book entitled The Unsteady March: The Rise and Decline of Racial Equality in America, one must abandon any and all preconceived notions about how justly black civil rights have progressed since the end of slavery some four hundred years ago. While the vast majority of America's white population would like to believe racial equality has moved forward by leaps and bounds, the authors clear up that misconception by noting how the only means by which blacks are temporarily infused into white society is when they serve a purpose, as in the case of war and reform through domestic politic protest.
