Essay / Research Paper Abstract
7 pages in length. To understand the depth and breadth of truth to what Philip Klinkner and Roger Smith espouse in their book entitled The Unsteady March: The Rise and Decline of Racial Equality in America, one must abandon any and all preconceived notions about how justly black civil rights have progressed since the end of slavery some four hundred years ago. While the vast majority of America's white population would like to believe racial equality has moved forward by leaps and bounds, the authors clear up that misconception by noting how the only means by which blacks are temporarily infused into white society is when they serve a purpose, as in the case of war and reform through domestic politic protest. No additional sources cited.

the Tuskegee Airmen, a group that represented a very special collection of soldiers during the war; determined to volunteer as the first black airmen in United States military history, this
unique assemblage was comprised of men from all over the country. One might readily surmise that the pride and dedication they put forth was at least twice that of
their white counterparts, inasmuch as they knew the expectations placed upon them would be scrutinized every step of the way, since many others believed the black men were deficit in
intelligence, skill, courage and patriotism. African-Americans were not bestowed the same amount of respect as the white soldiers during World War II; while
the black Americans fought just as tough and as hard as their lighter-skinned counterparts, they were still treated as inferior. All that began to change, however, when General Davis,
