Since this course also fulfilled a general education requirement, more can be found on the overall class under Goal 13: Written Discourse. The honors element to this course created a more in-depth experience into the material covered. This course required me to look harder at the material and understand it to a more complicated degree than what is required of other courses. With normal classes, you read the material, go over that material in class, and make sure everyone understands what the material is saying. For this course, we did all of those things and more. We took the material and applied it to everyday life, historical scenarios, and had to interpret the deeper meanings on our own or in groups and then share our findings with the class. It created a better sense of autonomy and creativity in the course by allowing us to interpret material the way our brains naturally did, not the way directly expressed.

Below is the second major writing assignment for this course. The assignment was to analyze what sustains anti-black racism in the United States using one of the books we read in class.
