Free people of color

Slavery was taken place almost all around the world. Once slavery was over, the people of African ancestry had to face some common struggles and they still do, today. A few common struggles are racism and lack of opportunities by treating the trauma. Treating so one can overcome those struggles. Through the film Sugar Cane Alley and in the video Post Traumatic Slave Disorder by Dr. Joy De Gruy, will demonstrate how the people of African ancestry will overpass their obstacles. One of the many…

In the past years many people have undergo so much barriers in their life, whether it’s in the workforce, at home, or in class. Some of these barriers are known as underrepresented in leadership roles, gender bias, and prejudice. Whether it’s a woman or a man they both represent these kinds of barriers. Emmeline Pankhurst stated, “We have to free half of the human race, the women, so that they can help to free the other half.” This quote shows how many women fear to speak up for them self’s in…

African American who is hurt and appalled by the way people of color have been treated throughout history as well as the present day. It is not easy to live in a world whose system works against you and aims to keep you down. I want to encourage my people to take a stand for their race, love their melanin and the skin they’re in. I want to encourage people of other aces to open their minds and hearts and accept the fact that people of color ae just as human as you. Injustices toward the…

nation. People judge each other every day, without realizing they are doing it. The judgement of people who are different has become a natural instinct. Even though racism has changed from white people owning African Americans, they are still being judged as the lower class. Racism is seen and thought of differently depending on the social class, skin color, and gender. Some races are always going to be hated and others praised. Racism mainly affects people of different skin color. People are…

least dominant Winning Color, and about the advantages of my dominant Winning Color. My dominant Winning Color is the color red, meaning I am an adventurer. The traits of an adventurer I possess are the thoughts of being free. My actions of exploring new places, then moving on to the next, and just being high spirited about a lot of things. The reason I like being an adventurer is because I want to have great journeys. I don’t want to end up in a dead end job like some people in their mid 30s. I…

Abraham Lincoln’s role in trying to free the blacks. It was meaningful to me because people in the 19th century went through many struggles during that era that I did not know how rough it was for the slaves. I liked how Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation in order to free the slaves. I do not like slavery just as Abraham Lincoln did not. It was very wrong to have slaves. It is wrong to judge people by color, and be treated differently because of the color of their skin. We have…

is achievable in America’s society. There are several amendments in the Constitution that have changed the possibilities of achieving equality; Amendments 1, 13, 15, 19, 23, and 26. Some people may say that equality isn’t achievable though, because everyone will have their own opinions and you can’t make people think a certain way. While others think that equality is able to be reached because we as Americans have already come so far; segregation, slavery, and voting rights have all been changed…

1963 just outside of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Martin Luther King Jr, gave this speech to make the american people realize the color of the skin should not matter because everyone in this country is human and the color should not be a motive to judge them but the character of the person should. Meaning the character of the person should matter more than just the color of the skin. This speech, I can relate to because, now in our time there is still a lot of discrimination in this…

Blacks. Whites. Racism. Sadly, during the Harlem time, people were being segregated based on the color of their skin. Blacks were treated poorly by the white people during this time and nobody knew how to put a stop to it. Langston Hughes was one of many blacks who suffered during this time. However, to get him through this tough time he believed in what is known as the American Dream. In other words, the American Dream is simply for everyone to have equal opportunity to live a better and more…

us as Americans. Unfortunately, freedom in this country does not necessarily mean free. Unequal and treated unfairly, people of color live throughout society. Sure, they have the same rights as white people, but racism still exists, more specifically in the workplace and education. Systemic Racism, (aka racism in the workplace, education, and criminal justice system) is a deeply affecting topic that not many people know about. There needs to be more awareness on Systemic Racism amongst the…
