The fight for civil rights, long after Martin Luther King

by John McWhorter, Jelani Cobb, Derecka Purnell, and Charles M. Payne

But a half-century after activists broke the back of Jim Crow, problems beyond police brutality persist for African-Americans: the wealth gap widens, higher education is less attainable, white supremacists remain influential.
