A Black Man Goes Undercover in the Alt-right

# data[].attributes.body
This Ted Talk talks about a man going online defending what he believes in, on the issue of race. This connects to today because the internet divides us and the speaker encourages us to rethink our opinions and learn to trust other people. Which is very true, especially on social media. He also talks about how the internet teaches offensive terms about race, to people online. They are used to identify people of color and they need to understand that these terms can be offensive to some people like in the What Kind of Asian are You? Slam poem. This can connect to the essential question by saying racism has moved backwards with how technology is making it harder for people of different races to come together.

Theo E.J. Wilson: A black man goes undercover in the alt-right

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In an unmissable talk about race and politics in America, Theo E.J. Wilson tells the story of becoming Lucius25, white supremacist lurker, and the unexpected compassion and surprising perspective he found from engaging with people he disagrees with. He encourages us to let go of fear, embrace curiosity and have courageous conversations with people who think differently from us.

The song Blackbird by the Beatles represents the segregation and the hard life black people had during that time, mostly in the south. Especially with the hate groups and crimes caused by groups like the KKK in the U.S. Racism article. The story within the song can represent Jim's life in the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, with the struggles of trying to escape slavery. Even though these were written in two different settings (before and after the abolishment of slavery) they both showed the struggles during the life of a black person. Overall this can connect to the essential question as moving sideways because during the time this song was written, racism was still just as bad after slavery had ended.

This academic research article, talks about how much controversy the confederate flag has on peoples lives. Some people think that it represents southern history and some believe it supports slavery and racism. This can connect to today because a lot of state flags have a confederate flag resemblance within them, and people want the flag to no longer be apart of history today. Today there are debates of whether the flags should be banned or embraced. Not only confederate flags but also confederate monuments and statues of confederate soldiers, have been moved to museums or taken apart because people are offended by these monuments of our history. This can connect to the essential question because society is moving sideways by arguing over a flag or a statue that doesn't really represent racism, when there are bigger racial issues other than this.

This academic research database from marvel, talks about Phillis Wheately's life, living in New England as a black immigrant slave. This can connect to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because with Wheatley's writings making her become very famous, she was released from slavery as was Jim in the end of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Phillis Wheatley was allowed to get married and live a free life and as far as we know Jim was able to do the same. This can also connect to the U.S. Racism article because even though Wheatley was no longer a slave and she was still treated wrongly. Her works couldn't be published because she wasn't taken seriously as a black writer and had disadvantages even though there wasn't any laws holding saying otherwise. Just like how in the U.S. Racism article states that even after slavery was abolished black people were still murdered and attacked for their race just like Wheatley's.

This article can connect to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because actions from the Klu Klux Klan were mentioned in the novel. The vivid images like the lynching of slaves and Sherburn in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were brought to attention subtly by Mark Twain. These terrible lynchings and murders are not as public and in the open today by the KKK. However this terrible group is still found and active, doing the same things they did back then, today. The Klan was mostly and currently found in the south like where Huck Finn was in the novel. This connect to race today because people of color are still penalized and threatened today just because of their skin color. This connects to the essential question, showing that racism has moved sideways or even backwards because of this terrorizing group.

Much like the last couple of hundred years racism still continued through out the U.S. Though laws were made to protect colored, whites still found ways to make sure that they would stay dominant. Most racist white men during this time joined the "Ku Klux Klan" (K.K.K). Which was a white pride movement, who were not only racist against any type of coloreds but would abuse them in every and any way as well, especially african americans.

The Klan (K.K.K) was known for there "Lynchings" and Cross burnings of black people. It was a hard time to be colored. The Ku Klux Klan was and is still mostly populated in the South of the U.S. The Klan abused many races of colored skin but african americans is mostly what they are know for attacking. In fact during this time period records show nine-hundred and seventeen african american lynchings are recorded. And sadly these are just the ones that are"known" to the public there's no telling how many cross burnings or lynchings took place in the South of the U.S. during 1900-1914

It's lynchings like this (The picture in the top left) that took place in the south. No murders would be convicted of a crime because to the whites in the south or the K.K.K. coloreds and above all blacks didn't matter. And to make it worse these murders would wear white robes/cloaks with white hoods (top right picture) to not only protect there identity but also let coloreds know they were around. The Klan could have any type of person whether rich or poor as long as they were pure white and against all colored races.

Till this day the K.K.K is around doing what they always have been; murdering, stealing, and abusing others. Though The Klan remains mostly in the south, they are still known and followed through out U.S. And although racism is not as popular or tolerable as it once was back those days, it's still around and it's still bringing much pain and damage to people lives, homes, communities, and cities as it was before

David and Matt and How They Learned The Word

# data[].attributes.body
This video can connect to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because Matt talks about coming to the country and using the n-word without really understanding the meaning behind it. This is just like what Huck did with Jim and using the n-word about all black people. Matts parents explained to him why he shouldn't use that word anymore and he realized he shouldn't use that term. Huck might not have fully understood what the word meant but by the end of the novel he knew that that term shouldn't be used either. This can connect to the real world because people today use the n-word or other offensive terms without thinking of how those words can hurt others. This connects to the essential question because racism has moved sideways because offensive terms are still being used.

The n-word: An interactive project exploring a singular word

After the National Football League made the controversial decision to ban the n-word on the field this year, a team of Washington Post journalists explored the history of the word, its evolution and its place in American vernacular today.

This piece of slam poetry can connect to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because Dang connects to the character Jim. They were both mistreated and always played a secondary role in their society. They both thought that their skin was what they were worth, and were stereotyped with people the same physical traits and race as them. This slam poetry can also connect to the real world because people are stereotyped by their race with famous people of the same race. The society never really identifies them by their actual race because they don't care. This takes a step back with the issue of race in our culture because of the stereotyping with people of a certain race.

How to Raise a Black Son in America By: Clint Smith 

# data[].attributes.body
This can connect to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because Smith talks about Black people having restricted lives to prevent from being accused or mistreated. This can represent Jim's character, because Jim went along with everything someone white said because he didn't want to get into trouble with them. Jim also hid and never tried to stand out because he knew Blacks were restricted from having a life that he was trying to live. Smith also mentions the phrase "Black Lives Matter" and mentions why thats so important to the black community. This phrase is heavily noted today. Theres a lot of controversy over this  in America. He seems to put that phrase in a good light when others may not see it that way. This connects to the essential question because race has moved forward into groups supporting and caring about the lives of people with color

This episode can be connected to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, because in this episode the offensive term "Mallato" is used. This connects to how one of the characters in the episode was identified as this offensive term just like Huck identified Jim as a "nigger". This can also connect to Dangs Slam poem because he was always stereotyped and people never took the time to really understand his identity, just like the lead female character. The society decided her race just like the society chose Dangs. This can also connect to the real world because people use offensive terms like this without thinking of the true hurtful meanings behind the word. People need to be careful with what they see but this can this can be hard to stop

Toni Morrison was around the same age as Huck when she first read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and she was deeply disturbed with the use of the N-word in the book. This shows that Huck never truly understood how Blacks were mistreated. Morrison was very concerned but Huck had no idea. This proves how huck had a sense of innocence as a child but Morrison ad proper role models in her life to teach her the meaning of such things. This article can also connect to today, because people don't understand how impactful the N-word or other offensive terms are to many people. They need to understand the meaning and how they're words can impact other peoples feelings.
