Despite a discouraging article from TIME magazine in 1958 that discussed black crime, there have been many positive changes over the past 64 years. The figures, excuses, and blame are not as pervasive as they once were. The fight against racial inequality has made great strides since then. Organizations such as Black Lives Matter have brought awareness to the issue of racial injustice and provided a platform for people to come together and make their voices heard. There is now greater access to education and job opportunities for African Americans, which can help reduce crime rates in these communities. Additionally, police departments across the country are taking steps to address systemic racism by implementing reforms such as implicit bias training and community policing initiatives. The progress made in recent years is encouraging but there is still much work to be done before true equality can be achieved. It is important that we continue to push for change so that future generations will not have to experience the same injustices that our predecessors did. With continued dedication from individuals and organizations alike, we can create a better future for all Americans regardless of race or ethnicity.
