Racial Justice

Locate two news articles on racial inequality. Articles can cover stories on workplace/workforce struggles,
immigration, health, environmental and cultural justice, or a topic that interest you. You may use major
periodicals such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington
Post, The Economist, The Atlantic, The Huffington Post or news media produced by particular
underrepresented groups such as Indian Country Today or The Navajo Times. You can even use popular
youth-oriented media hubs such as Buzzfeed and Vice for locating news stories. For this assignment, please
use two news articles published since January 1, 2019.
Read the stories carefully. If needed, conduct additional background research to understand the debate or
issues raised in the article(s). Then, answer the following:
What is the racial justice concern at the center of your news articles? When did the racial justice concern first
arise? Provide a brief timeline of the evolution of the issue or concern discussed.

If a solution to the concern is mentioned, at what level could the concern be resolved? Does the concern
require a change in law or policy?
How would you resolve or help to resolve this issue? Which side of the concern would you join? Is this the side
of racial justice? Why?
