The issue of racism and discrimination of African Americans have been a long issue in American society. "For the black African, America was to mean two hundred and fifty years of slavery. After that would come
the belated discovery that even with freedom there were social and moral factors which would qualify that freedom for yet another hundred years and more" (Lowy 130). Not until recently did African Americans successfully fight for and obtained equal civil rights through the black movement. According to Dr. Richard Lowy, the author of Introduction to Ethnic Studies, White people have distorted the perspective and hidden the history of the African American race to believe that blacks were inferior to whites, and did not deserve the same rights, leading to such a long road of hardship before finally discovering true equality.
