4. Summary and Take-
Aways
The fight for equality and justice for black
people has been ongoing since the first slaves
arrived in what is now the United States.
Rebellion and challenging the status quo
through legal means have been paramount in
bringing forth change and must continue until
equality has been met and all people are able
to achieve self actualization. We must continue
to make our voices heard in order to bring forth
change and progress.
