In 1997, four men were accused of killing 15-year-old John Hartman in Fairbanks, Alaska. The four men were George Frese, Kevin Pease, Eugene Vent, and Marvin Roberts also known as the “Fairbanks Four”. Three of the men are Native Alaskans, and the forth is Native American, which they claim they were wrongfully accused due to racial discrimination and an outdated form of police interrogation. Marvin Roberts is currently out on parole while the other three are sentenced between 38 to 64 years. Since the beginning of the accusations in 1997, the four men denied killing Hartman. Furthermore, in 2012 William Z. Holmes signed an affidavit stating him and four of his classmates beat up Hartman after driving around town looking for trouble. If the

Jamar clark African American, 24 years old was shot by the minneapolis police on november 15 2015.

It lists that it was a justifiable homicide because it means that homicide is legal when committed in the lawful

Morgan Jackson is someone I met within the first week of my freshman year (this was a feat in and of itself). I remember meeting her and wanting to be friends with her because she seemed smart-witted, friendly, and considerate; so I started to talk to her about biology and pre-med (because she is a biology major with a pre-med emphasis). She is one of those people who has their life together; she handles the balance between her extracurricular activities and academics impeccably. She has a 3.8 GPA and has a high class standing. For as long as I have known her, Morgan has always been involved in Lottie’s Hall Government. In fact, it was through Hall Government that we became good friends.

Harry Wills, also known as The Black Panther in boxing, has inspired many colored youths to participate in sports themselves. Currently, he has  been unable to fight in the heavyweight title, and he probably never will get the chance to because dangerous black men like him are prohibited from doing so. Nobody can really prove that Wills is the best boxer because he is unable to fight against the white race, but he wins just about every match he gets into with the colored. Full of excuses, George Dempsey, was the white boxing legend who could not fight against Harry Wills even though over 500 newspaper polls estimated that Harry would win. Boxing has become very popular with all Americans, but racial prejudice remains, so it will be difficult
