In my second Humanities course called Equality, we spent the last few weeks discussing issues of race, gender, and class. We learned about redlining in Chicago in the early 60s. We learned about the struggles and the strengths of the powerful woman suffrage movement. Then we looked at what makes class and what classes are there in our society. Also how class, gender, and race can affect the quality of your day-to-day life. For this action project, we were tasked to come up with our own interpretation of a page in a school book and make it our own. We did this by providing the historical context of a marginalized group of people whose voices aren't heard. My page focuses on African Americans' perspectives on policing in their communities and neighborhoods. How it impacts people's lives today and in the past. Here I dug deep to find the root into the historical events of policing and to obtain the perspective of African Americans who have been inflicted with wounds from countless years of cruelty. Here's my slide below.
