Race today

Today on NPR a Black lady was talking about race and she said after the past four years things are not much different in 2020 than they were in 1920. Why was this person given an audience. In 1920 there were no Black mayors, congressmen, senators, CEO's, theater stars, and sports stars. There were separate facilities for Blacks, things like drinking fountains, restaurants and even churches. Most states had laws against mixed marriage and lynchings were not uncommon. In spite of all the progress that has been made in race relations this women suggested that nothing had changed. Her remarks were not challenged and many listeners may not stop to think about the progress. What was the point of this program if not to further racial stress.
