> hasn’t the messaging been that it takes a generation or so to make an effective change in the mindset of a population? Aren’t we bearing the fruits of that?

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Do you mean, it's not changing faster because it takes a generation? The US has been addressing racism for many generations; the civil rights era - which was not the start of the issue - peaked in the 1960s. The US had the Abolitionist movement in the 19th century and maybe before. The US Civil War was in the 19th century.
