segregation. Mebane said, “For if he took on more passengers than got off, it meant that some of the newcomers would have to stand. And if they were white, the driver was going to have to ask a black passenger to move so that a white passenger could sit down” (170). Living through the times when white people treats black people so unfair, it would become the shadow of memories in her whole…

Class: English Communications Date: Grade: 12 Teacher: Mrs De Blasio What film techniques does Tate Taylor use to engage the viewer and present the ideas of injustice? Director Tate Taylor, in The Help, explores, through the lives of black maids, the injustice and imprudent judgments made towards the African American community in the 1960s.

my week 2 recording I was disappointed in myself. I sound very uniformed and misguided. Yet, I sound confident in my responses. I was surprised at how little knowledge I possessed about the dynamics of racism and oppression. I was so focused on Black versus White in racism and oppression I forgot about ALL people of color.

was going, I was a little upset. I was almost certain that a platform such as this would have been astonishing for Lorde. How was she able to stand as a confident Black Lesbian feminist? Placing myself in her shoes, I do not think that I would have been able to maintain my confidence in such atmosphere. She spoke about the last two Black women being selected at the last minute, and this was not surprising to me…

the church was the only legal place the black people could gather and get information without being harassed or unjustly treated so the church became their strength, refuge and haven. Furthermore,…
