I came across a quote stating “Birds chirping till its freedom” that is shown in the text that racial discrimination is the main cause of segregation. Maya Angelou describes to us how the African Americans were treated and how the African Americans overcame this racial segregation. Maya Angelou relates the African Americans to “Caged Bird” and the whites to “Free Bird” to compare whites from African Americans. This truly shows us how unfair it was for African Americans just because of their colour

What would life be if civil rights movement had never happened? African Americans would still be discriminated against and segregation might have expanded to other areas.

In terms of education‚ school would probably still be segregated under the “separate but equal” law‚ which clearly when it was

The incident with Lil Wayne and Emmett Till really got me concerned about this generation and since this is the month of February‚ which is Black History Month‚ what better time for me to actually talk about it.
