Race in American has always been a heated issue. Throughout history racial discrimination has been a problem since the time the English first set foot on American soil in 17th century. They pushed Native Americans westward until their population was nearly eliminated and traded sugar, tobacco, coffee, and indigo for blacks to use as workers in the fields. In today’s society we are brought up to not discriminate, and to become more accepting of diversity. This means we must devote ourselves to the interests of other races and to ignore the interests of our own. In my race page, I used Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Marley, and Tupac, to show how different African Americans views are on race. Each figure on the page is extremely important to American society because each one changed many peoples views and became an inspiration to many.
