- Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
- Re-UNIFY the UNION!
- Here, we learned how African Americans had to fight in order to obtain not only the right to be free, but the right to vote, despite everything being stacked against them.
- Brown v. Board of Education
- We got a refreshing perspective of the Fourth of July, a holiday about freedom and liberation, from Frederick Douglas. Being an African American in the 1800s, he saw the whole affair as just a cruel joke, lamenting how he wishes his people could be free.
- The Social Dilemma
- Lincoln asserted in his speech that God had punished the Union for having slavery, so he believed that the slaves have the same rights and freedoms that the whites had enjoyed. This was great for the slaves, but they would soon find how unequal life would continue to be.
- The Union would adopt a doctrine of "separate but equal" when concerning the newly freed African Americans. This supposedly fair doctrine would continue to make life unequal for blacks.
- "Separate but Equal" isn't equal!
- Even now, with African Americans being on the same playing field, social media and technology have introduced new challenges in regards to freedom. Despite information being as accessible as ever, people continue to isolate, and form their own worlds divorced from reality.
