With issues such as gaining money and trying to live a life, women and Africans Americans had it tougher during the Great the Depression. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, we read about two men, George and Lennie. As both of them go to a ranch to get a job, Lennie gets in trouble with the boss’ son. After that Lennie went to the barn to go pet the puppies and on doing so he kills Curley’s wife by accident. With Lennie on the run George finally catches up to Lennis on their meeting spot, as Lennis was sitting down on a log George comes from the back and kills Lennie for his own safety against the rest of the men that were after him.

America is known for its diverse culture and society. It is full of many races and contains various ethnic groups which help shape it and make it what it is. America is a country that was built by immigrants and slaves. The Germans and the Chinese were a part of the immigrants that helped to build the foundations on which the United States stands. The Germans were the first to come to America and the Chinese followed around 150 years later. They each had their own reasons for leaving their home countries and did not know of the obstacles that would impede them and their future. At a point in time, public policies had negatively affected German Americans and Chinese Americans by causing maltreatment, persecution, and death.

For example, Sophie Scholl, a German teenager growing up during the Holocaust, found herself opposing the Nazi policies, but found that she couldn’t do anything to bring about change. The author states, “Though Sophie knew the correct National Socialistic answer to every question, she soon found herself unwilling to give her teachers the answers they wanted but she felt were wrong” (Bartoletti). After Sophie’s silence, her principal became frustrated and threatened her by saying that she would not graduate if she didn’t participate in class more. Another excerpt from Bartoletti stated that “in Munich, they broke up teachers' association meetings and even smashed out the apartment windows of a Latin teacher who had given out low grades. The police were called, but the Nazi Party wouldn't allow them to arrest the Hitler Youth.” Any teacher that did not approve of the Nazi Party was punished severely. They could be fired from their position, or even worse, put into concentration camps where they would have to do manual labor in horrible conditions. Aside from the European Front, many things were happening in the United States as well, including Japanese Internment. According to USHistory.org, “the camps were often too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. The food was mass produced army-style grub. And the interns knew

All United States citizens were equally subjected to the drafts in WW2 but their importance and roles in the war and military were glossed over. About 10 Percent of minorities lacked rights but half a of the minority population was drafted (UShistory). There are many people that gained recognition and other who didn’t. Movies were even made about certain that changed the course of the war people but they were whitewashed by hollywood. Here are some of the important minorities and their struggles during World War II.

German Americans were treated quite unfairly during WWI. Even though German Americans had moved to America, they were still judged based on their background and stereotype. Posters depicted German soldiers as monsters and beasts from their homeland. The degrading word, Huns, also became a popular term for the German immigrants. Since the German Americans wanted the United States to stay neutral during the war, their lack of support went against the great rise of patriotism throughout the country. This had later evolved into discrimination towards the Germans. Orchestras would refuse to play any pieces by German composers, and German measles had become known as "Liberty Measles." Sometimes serious actions were brought among German Americans.

what they thought was the solution was to start breaking things and protesting in violence like a child would. The riot nearly had three dozen juveniles arrested and more than 200 adults were taken into custody after people set fires to cars and businesses, with lots of looted stores. Nearly 150 cars were burned with a cost of nine million dollars total to the city of Baltimore. This has not been the only tragedy that was created by race. The 2015 Ferguson riots are another example.

Tennessee had a profound participation in the war efforts of World War II. Tennessee alone had seven Congressional Medal of Honor recipients including; “Raymond Cooley, Charles Coolidge, Paul Huff, Elbert Kinser, Charles McGaha, Vernon McGarity, and John Willis.” (C. Douglas Sterner) “More than 300,000 Tennesseans served in the armed forces; the 5,731 Tennesseans who died in the war made the ultimate sacrifice… In addition, Tennessee became the site of numerous military installations, training facilities, and prisoner of war camps during the war, and 280,000 Tennesseans worked in war manufacturing.” (Patricia Brake)

The death of Michael Brown, a young African-American, happened just over a year ago. The community of Ferguson, Missouri came together to peacefully protest in honor of Michael, and fulfill the Black Lives Matter movement; although once things began to escalate, the police presence became stronger. Police forces are often expressed as being separate from military or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against attackers. However, with the Ferguson protests and riots the police chose to use many tactics in order to diminish the protests and riots.

We learned that over the last 40 years the police department of the City of Miami and Miami- Dade County have experienced their share of civil disturbances. To illustrate, there have four cases of race riots between both police departments which led to innovation to be involved in their pursuits to better their responses. These were the race riots in 1968, the Liberty City Riot, 1980, the McDuffie Riot, 1982 Luis Alvarez Riots, and 1989 Loranzo Riots within the Liberty City over town areas. However, the article stated that these riots were resulted by either police shooting of young black men, or thanks to the federal government the deporting of a young Cuban boy. Thus, it was not until the civil arrest of the 1980’s McDuffie Riot which seemed

The interracial relation issue between whatever two ethnicities have never disappeared during any period of time. However, some of them are just covered up by severer problems. For example, no one is trying to focus on the relationship between Asian American and African American during the industrialization period. It was too tiny to became an influential topic which need to be discussed with everyone in this nation until the post-period of the Civil Rights Movement. The most significant event which can be represent this interracial misperception is Las Angeles Riots in 1992. African American and Latino as majority looted and burned Korean stores for six days. Over 50 people were killed and estimates of property damage was over 1 billion dollars.
