  1. The color line still divides us. The most visible evidence of this in the field of public policy in recent years is the ongoing attack on affirmative action in higher education and employment. Affirmative action now gives minorities an unfair advantage from the perspective of many Americans who believe that the scars of discrimination have disappeared. Positive action is needed to protect opportunities that could be lost in the absence of a positive commitment to act fairly, from the perspective of others who experience the consequences of persistent discrimination on a daily basis. am. And for Americans of all backgrounds, the distribution of opportunities in a society that is becoming increasingly dependent on knowledge and education is a source of great concern and concern. The educational experience of minority students remains essentially segregated and unequal. Two-thirds of minority students still attend predominantly minority schools. Most of them are in central cities and are run with much less money than neighboring suburban counties. A recent analysis of data collected on school funding cases in Alabama, New Jersey, New York, Louisiana, and Texas shows more on all tangible scales, from qualified teachers to curriculum offerings. Schools servicing colored students have been significantly improved with fewer resources than schools servicing primarily white students. Richard Wright and the Library Card give students the opportunity to see the experience of African Americans through the lens of a boy who is determined to break down social barriers. A book called the Library Card is about four children who have life problems that the Library Card solves. In the process of four short stories,  library cards will change her life better. The main character in the first section, the mongoose, suffers from pressure from fellows from her friend Itachi.

4.  African American civil rights has a long history. African American people had a very hard time because they did not have civil rights for a long time. How did they have civil rights? Also, how have African American civil rights changed? It is a long history from when they were slaves. Throughout history, they have acquired rights as individuals and have gained equality as members of the nation. Because of the cruelty guided toward them in earlier centuries, their fellow African Americans and people of other races have served their responsibilities to help free them by revolting, and have now turned into heroic figures because of their courage. In conclusion, African Americans finally got the civil rights that all people should have. It took a very long time. Understanding that they are humans like us and there is no difference other than color. They are hard-working and very kind. I think it was very hard, and I also respect African Americans because they worked very hard, and they did not give up. Also, I learned when many people work together, they will have a lot of power. I think that the most important point is “Do not give up”. However, there is still discrimination against African Americans, but I believe it is going to be solved.

  1. Linguistic hegemony is identified and defined as what is achieved when a dominant group builds consensus by embracing others and persuading others to use them as a standard or paradigm. It has been. In education, learning literacy has always been more than just learning. The key to skill and reproduction of cultural and national identities. Acquiring skills in new practices is not just a matter of language ability, but the adoption of other values, as implicit and explicit cultural values ​​permeate certain literacy practices. In some cases, it is also a matter of different identities.
