· A Dream Deferred (LS) While watching the video, A Dream Deferred, it focused on the African American struggle and how majority of the labor was forced onto one race. While sharecropping, the African Americans were able to remain together without the risk of possibly being separated from their children. Although this was not truly a sense of freedom, they valued the fact that they were able to stay together. Jim Crow Laws were affirmed leaving long term implications and causing more damage and separation with the African Americans and Caucasians. During this time, African American voters stopped voting due to be intimidated and mocked for their illiteracy. Even worse, during this time lynching was a huge occurrence. Before the Civil War, lynching didn’t occur as often due to there being slaves and they were considered as property, whereas afterwards the property no longer had value. The thought of losing their lives was a never-ending thought that worried them. There were places that African Americans knew they couldn’t go to prevent them from being beaten or even sent to jail. The African Americans began to create their own “south”. Although they didn’t accomplish all that they wanted to, they did make huge strides. W. E. B. DuBois was a brilliant man that spoke loudly and profoundly seeking for fairness amongst the laws pertaining to blacks and whites. He was an advocate about black kids being educated. This was not just fair, or important, it was ethically the right thing to do. When I reviewed this video and reflected over the contents, I can’t help but wonder with all the strides taken and all the changes that have occurred, how do we still seem to be so far behind? I have been faced with being ostracized due to my race and even today there has been a few times where one of my children has been called a racial hateful term. Change is not just a fad, it is necessary and must be positive. I understand that not everyone sees a problem with the history of our country and how it was in the past vs. how it is now. However, there is still work to be done. The fact that I am a police officer now speaks volumes about the changes that have taken place and I am grateful for that. No race should ever be ostracized or made to feel less than due to the color of their skin. What additional steps do you think can be taken to continue to work on mending the racial divide and gaps in our county? · EE After the world of war ended, in America a new era came.
