Preventing Prejudice through History
by Kelson H.

One of the bad things about this world is the amount of people who are racist or prejudice against others there are. In the 1950s to 1970s, African Americans were really discriminated. They were beat down and sometimes killed by a group called the Ku Klux Klan. Black people were also discriminated by not being to go or do things white people could like catch the bus, go to certain restaurants, not able to go to certain schools, and many other things. The conflict was going down when a man named Martin Luther King Jr. started to talk about peace. Martin Luther King Jr. changed a lot of things until he was assassinated. After Martin Luther King Jr. died, a lot of people tried to keep his beliefs alive.

This is a fence to make sure the Japanese didn't escape from the concentration camps.

Jewish people have also experienced being discriminated. Back in the 1930's and 40's Jewish people were put into deadly concentration camps. Jewish people were killed and tortured there. Jewish people were discriminated by a group called the Nazis. Nazis joined Japan and fought against the United States of America in World War II. This group searched through Europe looking for Jewish people to put into concentration camps and to be tortured. This group of racialists was lead by a person named Hitler. Fortunately Hitler was defeated but Jewish people are still being in the United States and all over the world.

There has also been discrimination towards the people that are the same race as the enemies. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, a lot of Japanese Americans were discriminated . People were sometimes scared, hateful, or nervous when Japanese people walked by. Japanese even any Asian person wasn't allowed in some clubs or restaurants just because they were Japanese. A lot of Japanese people were put into internment or relocation camps. Most of the men wanted to join the army, navy, or any other club that was involved with war. Japanese people formed groups like the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion, and many other full Japanese. These Japanese people won many awards, and helped win World War II for the United States of America and the rest of the world.

Discrimination and prejudice is a very bad thing for this world. Discrimination can probably not be stopped, but it can be prevented. Discrimination hurts and kills and should be stopped.
