Introduction Eritrean-Ethiopian War Discrimination Poverty

Eritrean-Ethiopian War The Eritrean-Ethiopian War lasted for 30 years (1961-1991) Mengitsu Mariam was a high ranked officer which lead the Mengitsu government into a more militaristic state. Mengitsu government killed thousands of people in attempt of genocide The Oromos were taken over by the Derg and Amharas "Ethiopian Civil War." Ethiopian Civil War. Blogger, 22 May 2011. Web. 14 Apr. 2012. http://ethiopiancivilwar.blogspot.com/.

Conclusion 1 We think that the war is related to the story because Mawi’s family needed to come to America due to the affects this war had on them.

Ethiopian Refugee Camp

Discrimination African Americans are charged with higher rates of punishment An African American death penalty is more likely than a Caucasian FBI crime report in 2009 shows that 3,816 hate crimes were committed, 71.4% were African American "11 Facts About Racial Discrimination." DoSomething.org. Do Something. Web. 14 Apr. 2012. <http://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-racial-discrimination-0>.

Discrimination

Conclusion 2 Mawi felt bullied in school because of where he came from and because of how he was different from other students.

Poverty Between 1980 and 2006, the poverty rate among blacks fell from 32 percent to 24 percent (prb.org) In the south poverty levels are expected to drop because of Improvement of in Employment Growth in large metropolitan areas

Poverty Graphs in the U.S. Mather, Mark. "U.S. Racial/Ethnic and Regional Poverty Rates Converge, but Kids Are Still Left Behind." - Population Reference Bureau. 2012. Web. 14 Apr. 2012. http://www.prb.org/Articles/2007/USRacialEthnicAndRegionalPoverty.aspx.

Conclusion 3 Mawi came from a refugee camp with little to no finances to bring to America, so he was below the poverty line growing up.
