@AlyssaEly2 Learning about the war on drugs and mass incarceration made me realize the importance of recognizing and questioning how institutions are impacting minority communities. It also showed me the generational impact and how it leads to a cycle of abuse at the hands of institutions.

@Lumi37763864 Many people that apply for a green card are trying to come to the U.S. for better work opportunities in order to support their families. This is why people come here “illegally” because the only way they could come close to affording a green card is if they get a job in the U.S.

@AlyssaEly2 Children who have at least one parent incarcerated are also 3 times as likely to be in trouble with the law themselves. It is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken.

@AlexxusWatson Evanston, IL recently became to first U.S. city to pay reparations to black residents. I hope that this will set a precedence for other cities in order to help overcome to effects of racist housing policies from nearly a century ago.

@boyd2100 It is sad that non-white people feel that they have to destroy their hair in order to conform to society's definition of beauty. Different is not bad, but beautiful!

@rhec_vincent It's important for children to see people who look like them play the hero in a movie. I am a nanny for a nine year old girl and her favorite superhero is Captain Marvel because she is a strong woman. Black Panther is that powerful hero for black children. Representation matters!

@ValenVa40151901 It is mind boggling that we still use a system that is fundamentally racist. Colleges are always attempting to increase their diversity and getting rid of the SAT would decrease the biases of their admission process.

@KieraSimone4 I am also so excited for this class! It is so fascinating to learn about where race and racism originated because I feel like it will better equip us to understand how we can fight this injustice.
