They’re Not For Us
They’re Not For Us
Brianna Griffin
Throughout history (recent and in the distant past) there have been groups of oppressed people and the laws that result in detrimental consequences.From every law enacted intending to keep groups of people downtrodden to in depth series’ on slavery and the Ku Klux Klan. From the McDonald’s Massacre to the Japanese-Internment of 1942. From the real reason behind the war on drugs to the murders of Jordan Davis, Hakim Jamal and LaToyia Figueroa.Put a spotlight on those who aren’t spotlighted as much as they need to be. How can we learn from the past if we refuse to discuss it?
