ethnical backgrounds within the city of Madison, my group and I walked up and down South Park Street along Monona Bay. Originally from small-town Iowa, I was never exposed to racial diversity and expected little more from our neighboring Midwest state.

The people all spoke one language on the earth and when they tried to build a tower to reach God, God humbled them by confusing their language so that they did not understand each other and was forced to abandon the project.

the discrimination that took place within a political force or just dating back to 1942 with the Europeans coming over and taking land from the Native Americans.
