How long must the American community afford special treatment to blacks?

When Thurgood Marshall became a lawyer, race relations in the United States were particularly bad.

In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.

I never thought I would live long enough to see the legal profession change to the extent it has.

Whites would rather not be involved in race matters, I think.
