More than just an election

This year's historical election wasn't just about electing America's first African American president, it was an event that should of eased the souls of all the writers of early American colonialism, human rights writers, and slavery narrators. The ideal world of equality was a mere dream and hope against hope for our predecessors; now it is a true reality. Literature has had a constant impact on society regarding social injustices and although it took America so long to reach this point, I can't help but feel that all of the protesting texts created out there were all rungs on a ladder to equality.
