Discrimination Against African Americans: Past and Present.
This paper will address the issues and concepts that surround discrimination against African Americans throughout history. However, the conclusion is made that, while there is some support for the widely held notion that ethnic and racial inequality is slowly diminishing in the US, a more substantial body of evidence suggests that there really is not much to be applauded. This paper will look at the first African Americans, the Pullman Porters, African Americans that have actively participated in American military service, and a look at the present-day demographic and occupational situation experienced by many African Americans. 21 pgs. 37 f/c. 11b.
