Affirmative action aimed to promote equal treatment of disadvantaged social groups such as the minority. Race affirmative actions aimed to enhance access to public schools, employment, hiring, wage pay, and promotion (Epstein & Walker 621). The proposal aligns with Cooke's song "Change is Gonna Come," which portrays hope that all races in America will receive equal treatment in all sectors. The song is a true reflection of the problems we face in society. It relates to Scott v Sandford, whose court judgment upheld slavery in the US territories; black citizenship was denied (Epstein & Walker 634). The US blacks are still seeking a change to be accepted in their country as citizens. They have waited for a long for the end of slavery, but looking at the case, it seemed to take longer than expected.
