The New Millennium?

A Wake up call to black America, or not?
By Cheritta Pridgen
The coming of the new mil
lennium is a very hot topic
nowadays. When you turn
on the television, listen to the
radio, open up a newspaper or
magazine, there is always talk
about the new millennium, whether
it be about alien invasions or com
puter breakdowns. That is all
good but I have a question, while
everyone is worried about the
aliens and computers, who is wor
ried about the future of Blacks in
America? The response of every
one who reads this article should
be, “1 am.”
As we get closer and closer to the
coming of the new millennium,
people should think about what
will happen in the future, and more
importantly, what will change?
The new millennium could hold
greater opportunities for Blacks in
America or maybe it could be the
beginning of Black regression. We
all know there is truth in the saying
that those who fail to remember
the past are doomed to repeat it,
right? With this thought in mind,
we should look back and think
about the enslavement of our
ancestors, segregation and the
racism and inequality of the past.
In present-day America, we can see
the continuing discrimination and
racism in this country’s economic.
