Freedom

African Americans have had a long struggle in America, being first regarded, by the dominant European Americans, as a type of domestic animal, then as an inferior type of human being, and finally being recognized as people who have the same rights and value as any other type of person. This evolution has taken hundreds of years and is not entirely complete, even now (although the election of an African American President is a significant milestone).
