Life liberty and injustice for some

The fight for equality, freedom and justice seems like a fight that can never be over for certain group of people. It is sad to say, that despite all the time that has past and all the lives lost, certain group of people in America are still victims to oppression and inequality. For this assignment, I will examine the segregation, current racism, discrimination and prejudice which exist in the American Society today, which led to the death and injustice for young men like Travon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner. I will use statistics and case laws such the ā€œMississippi Burning Trialā€ , Jim Crow Laws and information from the book ā€œTo Kill a Mockingbirdā€ by Harper Lee and other secondary sources to provide a clear picture of the inequality which still exists in America today, despite the fact that America claims equal rights and justice for all.
