    1. 1.This piece is showing the war that blacks faced during the time both being in the war and coming back home. How they faced racism on homeland and yet facing the fight for democracy on the other.

      2.It also goes to show how a land they are defending doesn’t even look at them as equals. African Americans could not catch a break no matter where they were.

      3.This article showed me how even though lynching was could be looked at as dehumanizing and one of the many racial roots in the american tree that is deeply rooted in violence, and hate for the African American community.

      4.Disfranchisement is played out as a deliberate method of systematic oppression. It keeps African Americans from having equal rights. Kind of like.

      1. Education for African Americans was a way to keep the race oppressed. To keep the power in the hands of the white people. When one lacks knowledge they lack the ability to know what power they do have. Which in the long run can oppress generations to come out of generational wealth and so much more.

      6.The Economic system in so many ways is rigged to keep African Americans from generational wealth, to keep them impoverished. Keeping them in the lower socio-economic class.

      1. The power of the media and how it played and still plays a major role in how African Americans are viewed. Most of the time they share the media showing blacks in a negative light. Helping create negative stereotypes helps perpetuate the racial discrimination against Blacks.

      2. As they had to fight back during slavery, after they were declared free in 1863. How they had to endure injustices, unequal treatment. Which led to the civil rights movement. Which gained some equalities but not quite all. To the present day where they still have to fight on a land that they were born on. To live in a country where you can be hated simply because you have more melanin in your skin. A nation that said “ One nation under God and indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” When that is not the case. We are still at war and the fight is nowhere near done.

    1. We still see a two-horse race for new implementations (LMS product switches) in higher education, largely shared between Canvas and D2L, but the second horse that is looking better than it used to still needs to make further adjustments and run faster.

      Annotation as a core, multi-use feature could be a difference maker.

    1. Part of this change according to D2L exec interviews was that in the past it was easier to talk to CIOs, but now they are learning how to talk to faculty and end users.

      Fascinating.

    1. the market continues to be a two-horse race recently with Canvas by Instructure and Brightspace by D2L as the only two solutions with material gains in market share.

      So Blackboard is not growing. Only Canvas and D2L are and the former more substantially.
