Dr Martin Luther King and Alicia Garza both provide a detailed history of how
racial injustice in America has affected so many black American lives in the past and the present.

racial injustice in America. Black mothers fear for the lives and safety of their children. Garza
speaks about how domestic work is still populated mainly by black woman who are under paid,
