I absolutely think these historical events are still impacting our world today. Systemic injustice runs deeps and impacts most citizens of the U.S. in one way or another. As often happens when I learn about historical injustices, I am disappointed but not surprised. It was harrowing to see the details of these events and a more clearly fleshed out recounting, because although I was previously aware of just how entrenched racism is in the U.S., I wasn't aware of the gasoline baths or how late in history native american children were stolen from their families.
