The past I have encountered outside of a school setting was going to the African American Museum in Dallas, Texas. I have always wanted to go to an African American Museum to experience the setting of the atmosphere because my peers were talking about it so much I wanted to see what the hype was about. Inside the museum there are artistic, cultural and historical materials that are preserve and display of African American Culture. There is this one exhibit that catches my eyes and it is the African Amedia, this exhibit is and open letter that inspire people to look past the stereotypes that are related to each other base on character and not the race. Not every day you face any race conflict but being in a school setting is where it is majority are especially discrimination towards each other. With the …show more content…

Just having them explain what they went through by being separated on the bus, schools, water fountains and restaurants and that it was way worst in the past shows me that I have a better opportunity now then I would of have. To this day there are certain areas that has issues with race and also certain segregation in food places, with the presentational election I believe it showed everybody true colors. You have certain people that says that they are not racist but they do and post racist things and expect you not to get upset about it, with the disaster that happened in Puerto Rico a lot of minorities are upset because of the actions that the president did. President Trump was shown throwing paper towels into the crowd and everybody viewing it as disrespectful, another time is President Trump wanting to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. These two main controversial show that he does not care about the minorities at

The JFK Library and Museum in Boston on scenic Columbia Point, is an ode to one of the most charismatic presidents the United States has ever seen, John F. Kennedy. Most of the exhibits consist of items donated to the museum by his wife, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the location itself was chosen by Jackie. The JFK museum represents a rare time of bipartisan cooperation in American history, and the untimely death of a great American leader. John Kennedy was elected as the 35th president of the United States in 1960. Though a Democrat, JFK gained support from both parties.

The Prom Night in Mississippi was an extraordinary documentary, which encompassed the racial and discriminative views and actions from a small community and school district from the early 2000s. While watching the video multiple emotions and thoughts rushed through my head, however what stuck out to me the most was how recent this document took place, and how severe certain individuals where to possessing certain racial qualities. From only nine years ago students where still experiencing racial discrimination, in which individuals fought so hard for to be solemnly free in the United States. In fact to have an interracial school district that thought it was “okay” or politically right to have a segregated prom in 2008 blows my mind. Especially when the school district had superior faculty members who were interracial to multiple sport teams.

In Chapter Four of White Metropolis, Phillips discusses the way white elites ensured that the black population lacked political and social standing. The elites achieved this as much by spreading rumors and reinforcing stereotypes as by passing laws that legally robbed blacks of power. The “Sambo” stereotype, which depicted blacks as childish, carefree, and happy perpetuated the impression of superiority among the whites, even in the lowest classes (77;81). When the black population had access to the same goods as the white population in Dallas—even though they still shopped from separate stores—this perceived economic equality created panic among the white community (78). This was a factor in the second wave of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s.

There were just few African-Americans and Mexicans and I could barely find Asians. The lack of diversity in my high school could be seen clearly in lunch time. Students grouped themselves in each table such as all blacks in one table, all Mexicans in one table, even whites grouped themselves based on interests or sport teams. Moreover, until now, I am in college, and my classes are full of diverse students, but I still tend to talk and hangout with Asians rather than other races. The viewpoint of diversity is hard to be melted for all

During the early 1800’s, President Thomas Jefferson effectively doubled the size of the United States under the Louisiana Purchase. This set the way for Westward expansion, alongside an increase in industrialism and overall economic growth. In fact, many citizens were able to thrive and make a better living in the agricultural business than anywhere else. All seemed to be going well in this new and ever expanding country, except for one underlying issue; slavery. Many African Americans were treated as the lowest of the classes, even indistinguishable from livestock.

At the age of seven, my mother enrolled me in dance classes at a local dance studio in the town we lived in. One of the students in my class was an African American boy. I did not think of him any differently than any of the other students in the dance class nor did I formulate any generalizations about race. He was considered a friend as well as a member of the dance team. I recall the picture that appeared in the dance recital program -- he was placed in the center of the group perhaps because he was the only boy in the class.

I know just from being from a certain race people believe that sometimes that defines us as a whole. There is always a race being discriminated, oppressed and even treated unequally. I clearly understood that taking this course opened me up to the different events. It is really difficult to see that we live in this environment even though many whose
