Institutional Racism and Social Injustice (Inequality in our society and human rights) Youth and Adults!!!!!!

Here's some concerns from and Concern Mother of Color (African-American) Raising 6 Black Boys. 


The one thing that sticks in my mind yes, I have always acknowledged that yes, we live in a world where racism and social injustice exist.

Another point I’m trying to understand our ancestors fought hard for us to get where we are today without violence and what don’t our people of color understand.


One of my quotes that I like because I’m one who loves research and reading. So, as I’m sitting watching the television is from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  Dr. King listened to the people through their pain and frustration he found the common thread of what all human beings are looking for-human dignity and respect and helped them find their voices to express this need.
