All the characters have to deal with systemic racism from others. An example of this in the book is when Mr. Lindner advised the family not to buy the house in a primarily white neighborhood. 1322351 https://padlet.com/emilykdavis/3juyp3r7ca42d8r5/wish/2072019235 - Daksh Badri]]> 2022-03-01 18:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emilykdavis/3juyp3r7ca42d8r5/wish/2072019235 Kyle Puckett https://padlet.com/emilykdavis/3juyp3r7ca42d8r5/wish/2072019343 Because Walter is black in the late 1900's, he isn't able to get a good paying job, since those were socially reserved for white people.]]> 2022-03-01 18:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emilykdavis/3juyp3r7ca42d8r5/wish/2072019343 Beneatha dreams of becoming a doctor.
