Racism Is Bad

100

Before the Civil War, people with brown skin were treated as ________, the word for people who aren't free and are forced to work.

Slaves.

200

True or False: 65 years ago, it was illegal for people with brown or black skin to go to school with white people in many places.

True. This was called segregation. People who didn't have white skin often were forced to have different schools, bathrooms, restaurants, even drinking fountains. This happened because white people were racist (believed they were better because of their skin color).

This man's birthday just passed; he helped make things better for people with brown or black skin.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

400

True or False: Racism is still around today.

True. Examples: People with brown/black skin are often treated unfairly when trying to get jobs, when shopping, by police officers, and in many other ways. 

We can help by trying to make the world more equal and fair, and by recognizing that people with white skin shouldn't get to have all the money or the power or make all the decisions.

500

True or False: Minnesota fought on Abraham Lincoln's side in the Civil War, so it has never been racist

FALSE. We fought for Lincoln and against slavery in the war, but in 1862--in the middle of the Civil War--Minnesotans fought a war (called the War of 1862) against American Indians, killing many of them and putting the rest in prison or forcing them into other states. 

The Dakota, the people we fought, had already had their land stolen, and their sources of food (buffalo/bison, deer, and elk) taken away.
