Have racism, racialism and racial discrimination changed for the better since the Central Park Five were wrongly accused? In what ways do we still face the same civil rights violations today?
1. Progress has been made in addressing racism, but systemic issues persist, evidenced by ongoing cases of racial profiling and discrimination.
2. While awareness of racial injustice has increased, disparities in the criminal justice system and socio-economic opportunities continue to marginalize communities of color.
3. Efforts to combat racism have advanced, yet instances of racial violence and hate crimes underscore persistent racial tensions and biases.
4. Despite strides in civil rights, inequalities in access to education, healthcare, and employment reflect enduring racial discrimination and inequality.
