Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. This year’s
Columbus Day celebrations will spark strong debate over the explorer’s legacy, but by looking
at Columbus in the big picture of history, one can see today’s anti-Columbian fury is either
misguided or part of a blind political agenda to demonize early European activity in the New
World.
First, let’s consider the matter of European disease transmission, principally smallpox, which
is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans. While those numbers are
staggering, the deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible is
beyond preposterous. Further, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible because
estimates of pre-Columbus populations vary enormously. In Hispaniola, for example, the range
runs from 250,000 to 3 million.
The proof to support your argument.
Yes, we agree with Morrie about our society’s emphasis on youth.
In the second installment of The Professor, Morrie is portrayed as having been exceptionally liberal for his time and for his age. The first indication that Morrie is ahead of the popular culture is his acceptance of the research position at the mental institution, where, as a further showing of his liberal qualities, breaks the rules and befriends the most difficult patients, each of whom responds to Morrie more than they do their doctors and psychiatrists.
Morrie's so-called radical values are also exemplified by his unusually intimate relationship with his students, Mitch included. Like the students who protest in Washington D.C., and those who took over Ford Hall to fight racism at the university, Morrie believes in the progression of culture.
The culture he has created for himself does not adhere to the popular rules he protests against, and he fights to change popular social values when they do not agree with his own. Morrie continues to be very progressively minded even in his old age, and often reminds Mitch that he and everyone else is constantly changing form; his self is in continuous transition, despite his age. It is never too late, he says, to change. Morrie applies this belief to the culture that surrounds him and fights to alter it if the cause is one worth his dedication.

The correct answer is C. The heritage of black Americans. This is because Langston Hughes, like many other African-American writers of the time, drew heavy inspiration from Africa, and the cultural heritage brought into America by his ancestors.
