Unfinished Agenda

Introduction

The book Unfinished Agenda is no less than a life story for the lessons to be learned throughout life. This is the story of the struggle of the people of American's facing serious issues to recognize their identity and get all those rights which were being omitted from their life. These were the Native Americans, but the only problem which as occurring in their life was of their color, cast, and creed. The ethnocentric issues which were faced by the people at that time. The issue was their dark complexion.

The black Americans were the people who faced a big hindrance in the point to reach their rights. This was the era of the 1950s to the era of the 1960s when the civil rights movement was on the verge. The author, Junius Williams was also the part of this great historical movement at that time. He was a young lad and have seen all the ups and downs and highs and lows of this movement and have seen the entire story in the broader aspect. The purpose for writing all this in the form of manuscript for the mankind was to make them aware of all the hardships and traumatizing scenarios which shattered their dreams several time but all which existed was that little ray of hope that urged them to continue their movement and struggle until or unless they are not able to get their rights in the honorable and prestigious ways similar to that of the white Americans.

Discussion

In this book, the author showed the yet still similar side of the story that occurred in the 1950s and the 1960s. These were considered as the historic moment at that time when the author himself becomes the victim, of that movement and faced several difficulties in the time when he was studying in college. It was the tenure when the author was studying in the Amherst College and Yale Law School (Hayden, Np). It was the time through which he can relate to the time when the leadership of The United States of America faced a legit period when the authority of the whole country was in the hand of the Black American. It was none other than Barrack Hussein Obama. He was the first Black American to lead the country for a quiet long tenure. The author of the book relates this entire moment to the time when there was a complete movement in the name for providing the equal and adequate rights of the black and white Americans should be adjusted in the similar way (Hayden N.p). The author also wanted to enable all the readers to realize that situation with the modern world scenario. He mentioned in his book that it was the dream which Martin |Luther King wanted to visualize with his own eyes to see that everything can become possible. The higher authorities are not confined with the white people, but equal adequacy should be provided to both the people so that they may not feel any humility or negativity about any of the aspect.

Conclusion

Going through the detailed concept of the book, this fact can be determined that the agenda of the Civil Rights movement was unfinished for an extended period and it got finished when the new president took office. For a change, this time the president was not a white American but a Black American took the seat and this as the time when the agenda got finished, and there was a point when the whole world could see an end to the racial discrimination in the world.
