The goal of this suite is simple: to encourage people to reflect on the tragic times in our history in order to learn from them. Also to pay tribute to those who endured dark periods in our nation and fought to implement change. It is important that we all work together to fight discrimination and prejudice against any group of people. We must work to live in unity with people of all different races, religious affiliations, genders, and sexual orientations. I believe the level of discrimination shown towards African Americans in this country was stemmed from ignorance, greed, fear, and unwarranted hate that is still shown towards many groups of people today. We will not advance unless we study our history and learn from the lessons of our ancestors.
