In your discussion board, consider the following questions:
Section A: Consider all that you have learned in this unit with regard to the
impact of the Civil Rights Movement on America. How might the success and
increased representation of African Americans in business, entertainment,
athletics, politics and other fields have impacted public perception of race in
the modern era? What effect might it have had (and continue to have) on future
generations?
Section B: Have you or someone you know experienced
an act of racism? What about a time when you were made to feel different
or treated differently for something? Or do you remember that moment when the
differences in races or skin color were part of your perception? (perhaps
it was something you either witnessed, experienced, or something someone else
taught you or said in your presence).
*Note: If
you don't have any direct experiences, then make sure to ask friends, family
members, professors, or anyone else you may know that is willing to share their
experience with you. Simply putting, "I have never experienced
this" or "I don't know" is not sufficient!
