Minority+Injustice+reflection

This wall relates to the "image of women wall" because that wall talked about how women are so consumed with themselves and their image, that often times we forget about minorities that are dominating American culture. This wall focuses on homeless, racial discrimination, and the attitudes towards immigration. In the novel, "The Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison, he explains the invisible man. Different minorities are invisible in today's society. They are not looked at, but most importantly their vote and their voice does not matter in society. The rich have the power, because they can use their money to get what they want. Those who are stereotyped, are in no such luck. The invisible men and women in today struggle because they are constantly stuck in a cycle that they can not get out of. Weather it is the cycle of poverty, the cycle for freedom, or the cycle of citizenship. Homelessness, different ethnicities, and immigrants have all faced discrimination by the American norm. Throughout my museum, i have showed how the popular movement has dominated our culture and these are the people that are affected the most. The section of the wall shows that if Americans have a dream that they can make the impossible possible. Throughout the years Americans have tried to become more sympathetic to other cultures. The Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act was the first step to American justice and the rights of black people have continued to increase. While there will always be forms of discrimination in our nation, i believe that Americans want to make things right. When Americans are able to give up their consumer attitude all together, that is when we can start making change and sacrifice a bit of our lives to the people that are suffering.
