The rights of all American Citizens continue to be affected positively and profoundly by the strides by those who sacrificed their time, their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives for freedom of all people. Many are referencing the continued unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. The New York Times News Service says "In an address at the scene of what became known as “Bloody Sunday,” President Obama rejected the notion that race relations have not improved since then, despite the string of police shootings that have provoked demonstrations. “What happened in Ferguson may not be unique,” he said, “but it’s no longer endemic. It’s no longer sanctioned by law or custom, and before the civil rights movement, it most surely was." President Obama went on to say that the march is not over yet.
