In America alone, about six-in-ten citizens claim that there needs to be more change in the country when it comes to the topic of racial inequality. While the rest of the world is still facing the same struggle with gender and racial inequality, as shown through the sources “Equal Pay for Equal Play?” and “Equality Still Elusive 50 Years After Civil Rights Act”, there is no question that women today do not have the same respect and treatment as men, as well as a black human being not being anywhere near equal to a white individual. Also, during the time in the 19th century when Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn takes place, racism and inequality was one of the most substantial problems. Now, after two centuries, not only is society still struggling with the same level of issues, but the ones being discriminated against have to deal with other factors like being paid an unequal amount or a similar cruelty that others received centuries ago.
