Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The problems faced by many African-Americans today come from slavery and society's ongoing racism. Black people were uprooted from their homes in Africa and brutalized in America by a system that destroyed the family structure and degraded the individual. When slavery ended black people owned nothing. Isolated and discriminated against, they were denied education, contacts with society, and economic opportunity. Compared to whites, black people remain at a disadvantaged position and will remain so until they receive compensation and society's racism ends.
