The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options or further references attached we can say the following.
I believe that the priorities of the federal government may have changed with the rising number of African American delegates being elected in the following way.
With the arrival of many African Americans to Congress or other government offices, as well as other minority groups, the government is transforming into a more diverse government that shows more tolerance and is open to diverse ways of thinking, new and different ideas that benefit more US citizens.
This scenario has given more opportunities for American American people to raise their voices and publicly express their concerns in order to get their issues solved. And this is good for the federal, state, and local governments.
