Well, technology and civil rights have always gradually advanced, and probably 50-100 years from now people will look back at our era and think we were backward assholes for reasons that, to us, appear completely normal and rational. A random thought, the other day on Reddit someone asked "You suddenly wake up in 1950, what do you do?".... so many replies were along the lines of "I'm black, guess I'm screwed". As bad are social tensions right now, slavery is history and there was a black president in the USA. Maybe the first openly gay USA president has already been born, who knows.
For all we know, people in 2100 will think "Those people of 100 years ago are lucky, they got a pandemic that, sure, was serious and deadly, but they got over it in less than three years. We have actually seen the ice caps melt away and now there are millions and millions of people running away from inhabitable zones and these mass migrations are bringing the whole world to the brink of another global war".
