Today, some of the fruits of that shed blood are a former Black president, a Black vice president, Black Supreme Court justices, Black athletes with lucrative contracts, very successful Black entertainers and businessmen, and numerous elected Black state officials.We are not guaranteed equal outcomes but equal opportunity to make free choices.
