In response to: Do you think these historical events, rules, and laws still impact our society today? What are your thoughts after viewing these videos?
I'm embarrassed that I didn't know much of this history until watching these videos. Some I had heard about vaguely or the topics had been touched on in school, but I knew nothing about Native American adoptions or delousing at the border. And they certainly still impact us today. People are still dealing with environmental racism, immigrants are still treated inhumanely, the racial wealth gap persists -- and that's just the things that jump to mind that I'm currently aware of. I'm sure as I progress further in the training I'll learn about more ways our racist past impacts our racist present.
