America attained greatness when the 13 original states opined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal.”

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution in 1868 gave freed slaves and others full citizenship, and the 15th Amendment in 1870 gave black men the right to vote.

There is a fear among many blacks that the Trump era has essentially muted the present drive in the U.S. for racial integration and equality.

But now, the Netflix film on Michelle Obama’s ‘Becoming’ book tour has provided assurance that there is still huge racially mixed coexistence relative to the development of a nation full of respect and racial equality.

Some of the nation’s forefathers were willing to sacrifice the convenience of slavery in order to bring about a new nation founded on Democratic principles.
