In order to understand fully the experiences of marginalized groups, there must be an examination of the intersection of race, gender, class, religion, and sexual orientation (Schramm-Pate, 2017).

The quality life for African-Americans living in the South appeared to be improving during the time of Reconstruction. However, once it ended in 1877, white Southerners regained control of the south and began to implement Jim Crow Laws.

Intersectionality demonstrates that a client’s complete self must be taken into account in order to understand them (Cho, Crenshaw, & McCall, 2013). There are multiple sections…

between the gods and their opposing sides. Similarly in Boyz N the Hood the police of Los Angeles are only out for themselves.
