For this assignment you will deepen your knowledge of the black history of the United States. In the comming year we will discuss the US several times. From Columbus' arrival in 1492 to the declaration of independence in 1776.
When we discuss this history, the influence white men had is always mentioned. Of course, we're about to speak about slavery, but then we mainly focus on the unfair situation and oppression these people faced.
After a civil war between the North and South, the U.S. abolished slavery in 1865. From that moment on, the white population was equal to the black population. Isn't it?
The worldwide protests against police violence and racism show that many people still feel that there is a distinction between different ethnic groups. In order to get a better picture of this problem, it is important to understand its history.
Since the abolition of slavery, many people have fought for more equality between white and black people. Immerse yourself in the perspectives of these people and what they stood for. Do you agree with their ideas? What message do you want to convey on this subject? How serious is the situation?
You will answer these questions by writing a rap.
