2. Scottsboro Boys Qs/As Answers will vary, but here are a few:
It shows clear bias of an all-white jury in determining the accused fates
It demonstrates how the inequality & racism along with the testimonies of the two white women outweighed the testimonies of the African-American men
It reveals how quickly the “guilt” of the Scottsboro boys was determined in a very short amount of time and how innocent people were often convicted of crimes due to racism.

3. Qs for Scottsboro Video

4. Modern-Day Example: Text-to-World
In March of 2006, Duke Lacrosse players had a wild
party with alcohol and adult entertainment. Later,
one of the entertainers, Crystal Gail Magnum, an African-
American woman, accused three of the white team
members of raping her at the party. DNA samples were taken
from all 46 white members of the team and not one of them
could be linked to the sample taken from Magnum. The
2009 trial resulted in all three men being found not guilty
and each received a monetary sum from Duke.
