Absolutely. We are still seeing the consequences today of those impacted by these laws and policies of the past. Additionally, we continue to have laws and policies that serve to continue to marginalize others. My thoughts after viewing these videos are full of heartache for all of the suffering and injustice that has occurred across time, as well as a feeling of loss for all of the narratives of these people who never had a voice to share in their side of history. I also feel a sense of nauseating anger in considering those who currently deny these impacts are still relevant today.
Yes, 100% these historical events, rules, and laws continue to impact our society today. Watching these videos we are better able to understand that the rules and laws that were created in our history were created to marginalize others. If these rules and laws were created to serves that purpose in history, they will continue to serve that purpose now.
