The ethnic population that I have chosen to create a wall for is for African Americans. Everyday African Americans are challenged oppression, racism and discrimination. These type of things is what holds a community down. It is these kind of things that limits their opportunities for success. The only way that changes can be made is if some of these things are eliminated from their environment. Replacing racism with equality. Replace Oppression with accessible resources and knowledge. Replacing discrimination with acceptance

Young African Americans need to be exposed to more math and science oriented occupations (Carroll, 1998)
