The author emphasized the importance of black suburbanization for the growth of the 20th century the United States. Establishment of suburbs was critical to the study of Black Americans in the United States. The emergence of suburbs was a representative of the new generation of black American, who…

of the bitter American Public, and today’s modern African American citizens are still not immune to the microaggressions that remain through stereotypes and internalized racism. Throughout the whole of American history, black Americans…

the early 20th century. It is interesting how land is broken up and distributed. For example, the country of Lesthoto is landlocked in the middle of South Africa. Now why a country would be sitting inside another? I would guess that the tribal or African group that makes up that area are in a location that the Europeans had no desire to acquire because of no water resources or rough terrain and therefore, left the land to the local group. The Europeans wanted the best pieces of land with natural…

intended to link African-Americans and our supporters to combat anti-black racism, to stimulate communication with African-Americans, and to inspire shared action and engagement in the community (About the Black Lives Matter Network, 2016). Addressing the problem, it seems more like excessive police force. Philando Castile, a 32-year-old African-American was killed by a police officer on a routine traffic stop in front of his family (Excessive Police Force Again in Question Across U.S. after…

“African Americans are incarcerated in state prisons across the country at more than five times the rate of whites, and at least ten times the rate in five states.” (Nellis, 2016) Although there have been promising reforms put in place to reduce the prison populations, racial and ethnic disparities within the prison system continue to cripple the idea of justice in America. African Americans have been incarcerated in state prisons 5.1 times the rate for whites. In the states of Iowa, Minnesota,…

families who lived there from generation to generation. With segregation going on around the 1930’s a lot of people in Maycomb are racially divided because some think they are better than African Americans, while some say they are equal. For example, Atticus is a good man because he took a case supporting an African American man named Tom Robinson. Even though people would dislike Atticus for supporting him, he is still there for Tom and willing to fight for him in court. Especially being a…

I was surprised to learn that there may be a correlation between schizophrenia and African Americans. The hypothesis makes sense particularly in places like Baltimore and where the teaching hospital there is responsible for the unauthorized research of an African American’s cells, the lead poisoning experiment that was tested on low income kids in the area, the continuation of the displacement of many poor African Americans to expand their business interest and the experiment in Guatemala…

observations, one of cultural issues and the other of race. My observation of cultural issues took place in the Bronx African community during the week in the Bronx, NY. As we are all aware, one of the most…

Have you ever had a dream? If so, how far would you go to make it come true? The play this essay is about is,”A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry. This play is about an African American family trying to live a better life with the insurance money they got when the father of the family died. All the family has different ideas on what to do with the money but to me, the most important dream is Walter Lee’s. With all the different dreams from each family member, it was very hard to decide…

Many types of theatre, including African American, Latino, and Feminist Theatre, originated during the civil rights movement. Each group felt as if the original form of theatre was not diverse and that their own cultures and beliefs were being excluded from the productions. Because of this, they each decided to form their own theatre regarding the lives and difficulties they faced. One of the main goals of the American Negro Theatre was to accurately depict African Americans lives and the…
