Even after the the ratification of the Constitution, “...the Negro still is not free...the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination...the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity...the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.” (King, 388) Even after being granted their freedom, African Americans remained slaves and victims to the harsh reality that a piece of paper or a signature can’t make a substantial problem vanish into thin air.
