something from Meilan Solly's article that you did not previously know about the timeline, impact, or extent of racially based oppression in the United States. Note it to discuss with your group:

the statistic from Jay Smooth's video series that most angered or confused you:

the lyric that struck you most from Hill's rewrite of "Black Rage":

other groups that experience structural racism but aren't well-represented in the above works by Solly, Smooth, Hill, and Baldwin. List a few:

a statistic about systemic injustice faced by one of the communities you identified above. (It does not need to be explicitly about the environment - examine an issue and group that you feel passionately about.) Jot it down, making sure to include a note about where you found the information and why you think it's credible. Be ready to share with your Discussion Group!

your thinking about systemic racism beyond the United States. How do issues of oppression and injustice play out in other parts of the world? If you are not an American citizen, please share a bit about what from today's lesson you see that is similar in your own country, and what is different. If you know the US context best, what is your impression of racism around the world? Does the particular history of the United States make America's structural inequalities unique? Do you see much coverage of these issues globally in the media?

a political cartoon or meme that comments on some aspect of discrimination (you don't have to agree with it!). Copy the image URL below. The Teaching Team will prepare some of these to use in a group exercise. (If you can't locate one you like, or don't have a URL, feel free to leave this question blank. You can also share photos directly during Discussion Group if that's easier for you.) Here's an example: https://thewilsonbeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG-20161126-WA0025-900x900.jpg
