African Americans' discrimination sets its origins in the 16th-19th centuries, when Africans were sold as slaves in North America. Not only the fusion between the ethnicities depends on this trade, but even the credit they had.

In 1865 the US president Abraham Lincoln declared the end of slavery.

Linda Brown and Rosa Parks's experiences with racism as a student and as a public transport's passenger are two of the most famous anecdotes from those year of racial segregation. They are an infinitesimal part of the triggers that let the Civil Rights Movement bud.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the Civil Rights Movement's leaders. He's known for his more than 3,000 speeches between 1955 and 1968.
In 1968, four years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, he was assassinated.

The Civil Rights Movement's work wasn't vain: even if racism is still a problem in the US, giant steps have been taken. An example is the election of Barack Obama in 2009 as the first black president of the USA.

“Nessuno nasce odiando i propri simili a causa della razza, della religione o della classe alla quale appartengono. Gli uomini imparano a odiare e se possono imparare a odiare, possono anche imparare ad amare, perché l'amore per il cuore umano è più naturale dell'odio.”
