Beloved by Toni Morrison

A myriad of special interest groups exist for African-Americans. Now, anyone who has the motivation to further themselves can earn scholarships, grants, or student loans for college, as a U.S. citizen. A diverse population works together in the U.S., without the risk of racial slurs, threats, or persecution, by enacted law. African-Americans earned the right to vote through peaceable protests, and MLK Jr's advancements are taught in increasingly multicultural public classrooms. Segregation laws have been eliminated, since the Supreme Court ruled that separate does not constitute equal.

What, then, does? This is a question America struggles to answer, legally. One can foresee, through America's children, a time when skin color won't matter, and even ethnicity will be difficult to categorize. Education seems the only positive way to end the race dispute, as detailed through Morrison's fully-developed heroine, Dakota. Considering this thoughtfully vivid novel, Beloved, Americans must recognize the past to better determine the future.
