Why does America have a tumultuous history with race?

English
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In a short essay published earlier this week, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch wrote that the recent killing in Minnesota of George Floyd has forced the country to “confront the reality that, despite gains made in the past 50 years, we are still a nation riven by inequality and racial division.”

Amid escalating clashes between protesters and police, discussing race—from the inequity embedded in American institutions to the United States’ long, painful history of anti-black violence—is an essential step in sparking meaningful societal change. To support those struggling to begin these difficult conversations, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture recently launched a “Talking About Race” portal featuring “tools and guidance” for educators, parents, caregivers and other people committed to equity.

“Talking About Race” joins a vast trove of resources from the Smithsonian Institution dedicated to understanding what Bunch describes as America’s “tortured racial past.” From Smithsonian magazine articles on slavery’s Trail of Tears and the disturbing resilience of scientific racism to the National Museum of American History’s collection of Black History Month resources for educators and a Sidedoor podcast on the Tulsa Race Massacre, these 158 resources are designed to foster an equal society, encourage commitment to unbiased choices and promote antiracism in all aspects of life. Listings are bolded and organized by category.

Lady_Fox [76]

Look at this flea, and you'll understand that what you're denying me is very trivial. The flea sucked my blood first and then it sucked your blood. Now our bloods are mingled in the flea's blood. This mixing of bloods is not a sin or anything to be ashamed of. The flea now grows big with a new life inside it. The little bloodsucking flea has achieved much more than what we as lovers have attained.

Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
k0ka [10]

Answer:

To express that the author's 'Muse' (or inspiration) is gone

Explanation:

"Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long

To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?

Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,

Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?"

I can sorta guess that this is asking something like "Where are you Muse, did you forget about me for so long?"

How does the author’s decision to conclude the story with the phrase ""Scout’s Honor"" contribute to the story? Cite evidence fr
Stolb23 [73]

Answer and Explanation:

In Edward Irving Wortis's short story "Scout's Honor", the narrator is just a child who goes camping with his two friends to move up to Second Class as Boy Scouts. Throughout the story, they are trying to impress one another, to prove they are tough and fearless. However, the camping trip is a disaster and they have to go back home. Since they were unaccompanied, they make a promise not to tell the Scoutmaster:

<em>Horse said, “Only thing is, we just have to promise not to tell Mr. Brenkman.” </em>

<em>Grinning with relief, we simultaneously clasped hands. </em>

<em>“No matter what,” Max reminded us. </em>

<em>To which I added, “Scout’s Honor.”</em>

<u>This is how the story ends, the very last phrase being "Scout's Honor". It's an ironic way to end the story because Scouts should not lie, and they are using that phrase while agreeing to lie to the Scoutmaster. On the other hand, "Scout's honor" is also related to friendship and loyalty. With their façade as strong boys falling apart, the boys found acceptance of themselves and their friends. They are loyal to one another now, connected through their weaknesses and failures.</u>
