Answer:

The correct answer is D) The Election of Barack Obama

Step-by-step explanation:

Barack Obama was the first Black person to be elected as the president of the University States.

This was something unimaginable only 50 years ago and many believed that it proved how most Americans saw past just the race of a person - effectively a 'Post-Racial' America.

At the same time, many disagreed with this statement, making a point that while Barack Obama was elected as the first black President, racial prejudice remains common in America, especially against Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.
