Conclusion African Americans have gained the respect

they deserve over hundreds of years. All of these amazing events, such as the first Black coaches in Superbowl, the first African American woman to be secretary of state, Barrack Obama's Presidency, and Michael Jackson’s death make a statement that shows how far African American rights have come and how Blacks are now truly treated like regular people.
