Dawson_5_Case

Dawson 5 Case Through out my days in elementary, junior high and high school I have read and heard about such unjustice happening in this great country the United States in which we live. Being 18 and living in present day society the stories of the recent past seems more and more unbelievable. Not unbelievable, in that I don’t believe these stories happened, but throughout history this nation has been influencing other countries on the treatment of their people. Yet, this nation not only allows the unjust treatment of a race of its own people, this country looked the other way. Nevertheless this country, which once embraced slavery, discrimination, and segregation, is now moving toward a country of inclusion and diversity acceptance. Although this country is not totally without discrimination it has advanced over the years. Before this advancement there were many black people that suffered tremendously in all aspects of their lives. The Dawson Five was an example of racism and how it plays a role in receiving justice. Five black boys were being tried for the robbery of Tiny’s grocery story and the murder of Gordon B. Howell. A susposelly eyewitness identified one of the boys. dawson, five, people, boys, racism, country, black, innocent, crime, change, being, because, white, uneducated, unbelievable, tried, trial, treatment, time, terrell, story, stories, stated, role, realize, race, poor, police, one, nation, murder, made, history, high, discrimination
