Black Americans today trace their ancestry to the Negroid race in Africa. In American history they have been referred to as African, colored, Negro, Afro-American, as well as black. The majority of these people are those who were forcibly removed from Africa. Many like Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson, Muhammed Ali, Emmit Smith, Michael Jordan, and Pele are involved in sports. Others, including George Washington Carver, made scientific advancements in our society. I bet you would never have guessed a black invented the washing machine. Many others were preachers of the gospel and helped save many souls. Blacks today are just like whites. They are treated respectfully the same most the time and make as many or more contributions to the society as whites do. As time goes along, I believe blacks will be treated exactly as whites. As Dr. King would say:
I have a dream
That the day we are no
longer judged by the color of
our skin....
