Although a change in the equality and rights of the Black Community were meant to be created in the hopes and actions of people like Sam Cooke, years later Black men and women were still being poorly treated by the white man based on his or her color. This is important because we still see injustices being made towards the Black community today that is still not being given a full life of freedom and that is still waiting for an actual change to come.

This relates to a common topic today in which black on black crime is still at a high and steady rate, and not enough is being done to solve this issue.
