Once this indivisibility is accepted, Franklin charges, America faces the monumental task of overcoming its long heritage of inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRacial Equality in America\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful reminder that our history is more than a record of idealized democratic traditions and institutions.
