1. What role did immigrants play in creating unions within American corporations and workplaces?
2. Since the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, people have been protesting across the world every day for racial justice and equality. However, the protests are not just about the murders of two innocent Black people. It has a longer history, a larger context. Using Week 10’s readings and videos to guide you, what were civil rights leaders of the 19050s and 1960s fighting for? and compare that to what modern day civil rights leaders and protest movements are fighting for.
3. 100 years ago, immigrants arrived to the United States and were forced to work long hours in factories under brutal conditions and for low pay. During this time, the majority of immigrants were from northern and western Europe then shifted to southern and eastern European countries. Currently, many of today’s immigrants are from Mexico, Central and South America, and various regions of Asia. Legally, companies must abide by a 40 hour work week and provide benefits. However, many of today’s immigrants are treated similarly to how immigrants were treated one hundred years ago. What is broken about the American immigration system that allows this to continue to happen?
