Our history of racial segregation and inequality is shameful and cannot be celebrated. Ownership of slaves, making slaves work in cotton fields and other hard labour, oppression of blacks and other minority ethnic groups in the early days of our country, civil rights abuses and discrimination and ultimately the civil war, are all shameful events in our history.
The arrests and dehumanisation of Americans of Japanese ethnicity after the Pearl Harbour attacks, locking them away in inhumane camps and denying their rights to freedom was another event in our history which was shameful and not representative of the freedom and democracy which we stand for.
Thankfully a lot has changed since these periods, but we must do more to continue to protect our democracy and freedom.
My brother (You haven't given the other option for this one. Anyway the answer can't be 'is playing', so the answer should be whatever the other option given in your question.)
