Group 6: Jennie, Zulmary, Francine, Joe L.

For the final project, the majority of the group is thinking to do some type of video project. We were talking through a script/ talk show of some sort that would incorporate interviews taken between us and other students (not sure of the specifics yet). During the interview we would talk about racial violence and class differences in today’s society,with reference to the book The Garies and Their Friends, to compare how it was like being black living in philly in the 19th CE because of racism. In addition, in terms of movement and constraint, we could also talk about the constraint that black people (and lower income), feel about living in areas where they are the minority. We want to use aspects of today and the occurrences of being black in America today, how the promote or constraint us in terms if systematic racism, to see what has continued and what has slowed down/progressed in today’s day and age.
