“Beyond providing the language for a young person to name the world around them, engaging with the histories we too often fail t

o name helps us better understand the contemporary landscape of inequality. One cannot begin to understand what happened to Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (2014), without understanding the decades-long history of state-sanctioned housing segregation that created the conditions of the community in which he lived. One cannot begin to understand what happened at the White supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia (2017), without taking into account the ways in which the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy warped the narrative of the Civil War into an ahistorical caricature of itself. One cannot begin to understand what happened to the nine victims of the Charleston church massacre (2015) without making sense of how, two hundred years ago, South Carolina was one of the single most important slave ports in the United States.”
What does this quote from the excerpt above suggest to about how important understanding history and context is for unpacking current events? (Black live Matter)

What vestiges of Progressivism can we see in our modern lives—politically, economically, and socially? Which of our present-day
TEA [102]

Answer:

There are vestiges of Progressivism in many of the anti-trust legislation that are still in place and labor laws, as they have their roots in the Progressivism movement.

Explanation:

Progressivism was a broad movement that arose between 1896 and 1916 and was primarily led by white, middle-class professionals. They sought solutions to the problems that were arising in the modern era due to rapid economic expansion and political and corporate corruption and industrialization. They also looked for solutions to counter the ill effects of urbanization.  Many of our current child labor laws, for example, have their foundations in this movement. Also, anti-trust legislation from that era is still in effect: the Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts remain in force today. These acts establish certain business practices to be unethical like price-fixing and creating Monopolies. They also uphold various workers' rights like limits on the length of the workday.
