    It compellingly ties the myth of black criminality pushed forward in D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of the Nation with what was see evidenced in TV show like Cops and in the media portrayal of police shootings. It conveys the corporations that directly benefit from the mass incarceration of black men—companies with like CCA, Aramark, and Corizon—as having more in common with southern plantation owners of the 1800’s than any of us would care to admit. Additionally, it surfaces the institutions such as ALEC which were created to undermine the regular american and benefit lobbyists, corporations, and politicians. But perhaps what was even more powerful was the film’s forgotten tragedies― one we don’t know, but should ― like that of Kalief Browder, whose unjust three-year imprisonment at Rikers Island led to his suicide at…

    Martin Luther King Jr are the two eminent faces who spoke for the equality of black people, and for the freedom of all human beings. Douglass’s speech “The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro,” and Dr. King’s speech “I Have a Dream,” continues to be relevant today. Douglass successfully employs pathos and makes the audiences feel the shame of celebrating freedom while still keeping the system of slavery, Dr. King, a hundred years later, uses repetition as a rhetorical tool to pass his hope of a united nation where black and white men can hold hands. In today’s society, when technology has been involved in almost every aspects of lives, freedom is not only about the independence of a country, or justice for a race, but also about people not being manipulated by the technology and its creators. Hence, people should stay alert to these unseen threats to protect their own…
