Slaves arrived in VA
Slaves were not educated and treated very poorly. They were to be sold to rich landowners and plantation owners that could afford to buy slaves for labor. Education was not there for the slaves, unless they educated themselves. Slaves were forced to be indentured servants for the rest of their lives. There were bans to sexual interracial relations.

Affirmative Action Setback
University of Michigan did not need to follow the affirmative action plan due to its law with higher educational schools. They constantly had issues towards minorities when selecting students that went to their school. This became illegal for the school to do so in their public school as well as their law school.

Present Education
https://www.newsweek.com/2018/03/30/school-segregation-america-today-bad-1960-855256.html This news article talks about how segregation is still existing today. This one really stuck out to me because the issues that people used to face are still happening, when most people don't think so. We still treat minorities especially African Americans differently and we have to come up with a solution to social equality.
