I waited for my sister to get out of school one day. While waiting, the school bell rang allowing the kids to exit the rooms that kept them from other plans. All different kinds of kids ran out towards the sidewalks surrounding the campus. I was amazed at all the different groups there were that were integrated with all sorts of different races. This accepting of races in our society starts in the home. Parents are doing great jobs in teaching their children what is socially acceptable in terms of acceptance of all. At this school, I did not see a racial divide between the whites and minorities. There was not one color assuming the dominate position. In the 1800’s, this was totally the opposite. White colored people were in charge and controlled the United States. People had set places in society. There was segregation set by the dominate race and imposed on all those seen inferior. Over time, there have been movements led by people like Martin Luther King Jr. to combat segregation and for everyone to be treated like equals. I do see society trying to adjust and adapt to this way of life. Unity is the goal we all desire to obtain.
