I think that all of American history impacts people’s beliefs and behavior today. At the beginning of this module there was so much historical context to the beliefs people have today that I was unaware of because I was never taught this discrimination in school. I think the historical context is what impacted me the most because there are a lot of parallels between what happened in the past and what is happening today. I didn’t realize how many caricatures of black people are still present today and I feel heartbroken that there are still brands that propagate black inferiority.
