The film 13th‚ directed by Ava DuVernay‚ was very unpleasant to watch. African Americans of all ages and both genders were mistreated and had a very limited amount of freedom. If you were within the African American race‚ you were put to slavery instantly. Many were arrested for the slightest of crimes which included littering and vagrancy and put to labor after the civil war. Every image you see of African Americans‚ particularly African American males‚ were considered monsters and horrendous human

The movie 13th was a very interesting movie. I learned a lot while watching the film‚ Such as the history of a mass plan of incarceration against blacks and latinos. I also learned about how the history of law has been continuously used to hold minorities down. I learned a lot more about how the USA used their power to hold back black movements like the Black Panthers. The movie really opened my eyes to the history of america. I was not aware of the history of the criminal justice system and how

The documentary 13th‚ was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence‚ crime‚ and race. In particular‚ I found it very interesting how the documentary stigmatized black men as violent individuals. How did they come up with this stigmatization?

Someone’s race doesn’t define whether or not they are violent; it is an individual’s actions that determines

Many articles we read‚ and the documentary we saw includes the impact of slavery‚ segregation‚ and the war on drugs and I do agree with what Angela Davis states in the film 13th‚ “historically when one looks at efforts to create reforms‚ they inevitably lead to more repression.” It sheds light on the fact that our criminal justice system is far from perfect.

Despite slavery ending with the thirteenth amendment‚ slavery was still maintained in practice long after the end of the American Civil War due to the same amendment. This idea comes from the documentary‚ 13th‚ directed by Ava DuVernay. I chose this piece of media because it directly connects to the class lectures. The documentary begins with a short video of former President Obama voicing that despite the United States holding only five percent of the world’s population‚ it holds twenty-five percent

Awhile before the horrendous events of the Black Death occurred‚ there was The Great Famine of 1315. I had not previously heard of or known about this period of history before writing this paper. At the beginning of the 14th century‚ the population in Europe had steadily been growing so large that there was no room for any crop failure or shortage. However‚ climate change in the spring of 1315 gave them a wet spring that proved to be harsh on the people until the summer of 1317. The people were weakened
