This picture of three white men and one black man playing cards on a table with the United States Seal embodies values of rightists such as hierarchy and competition.

the audience did not have a different encounter with African people. I wonder how our opinions of a culture can be made from only being exposed to it by one individual.

In the video, we watched in class last Wednesday the Arabic women were all portrayed as being indistinguishable. The women wore all the same clothes and had similar voices. This video made me think of how it relates to Sara because this

ESTONE NJUGUNA I.D. 000447804 THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS This account clearly depicts the civil rights violation and the extent to which racism was deep rooted especially in the Southern states. The entire systems in place did not favor black people and harsh conclusions were drawn without enough or substantial evidence. The way the white’s reacted after the announcement of the invasion and their regrouping at the railway station armed with guns shows the urge to kill and eliminate black people. It
