After discussing If I Were a Poor Black Kid and the responses to it, your task is to choose one of these articles to explore.
Time Person of the Year #4: Black Lives Matter
Race and Reality in America: Five Key Findings
Worst States for Black Americans
This week's blog post (4/17) should be connected to issues about race relations in America. It should specifically reference and make connections between the articles read in class today and the article you selected to read from the links above.
To finish this unit, we'll return to where we started, the Fisher v. The University of Texas-Austin case. Your assignment is to write a 1-2 page editorial, arguing how the Court should rule and why. This is your final piece of formal writing for the year, so make it your best. Make sure that your assertion is clear and that it is supported by specific evidence. Evidence should come from the materials provided in class or if researched, should be properly cited (footnoted). Your editorial is due to be submitted to turnitin.com prior to the start of your last class period next week (either 4/21 or 4/22).
