Which strategies were most effective, and why? How did activism change? By 2000, what changes had taken place for African Americans? In this analysis, remember that African Americans are not a monolithic bloc. What divisions existed within the African American community by 2000?

4. Examine in the 1980s and later the entry of African Americans in Congress. Did it change the face of government? Did it change anything more substantially?
