2. Consider the question posed by photographer Richard Frishman's in the photoessay: "Does such erasure remedy the inequalities and relieve the suffering caused by systemic racism? Or does it facilitate denial and obfuscation?"

3. Write an essay that responds to Frishman's question above, discussing both South Africa and the United States. More simply, Frishman is asking the following questions: What do we lose and gain if we highlight the histories of segregation in the U.S. and South Africa? What do we lose and gain if we erase or ignore those histories?

Essay Expectations:

1. The essay should be at least 4 pages long, double spaced 12 font.

2. The essay should discuss both the U.S. and South Africa when responding to the prompt.

3. The essay should include at least 3 direct quotes from class material. You do not need to do research beyond what has been covered in class. Anything we've read, watched, or analyzed that is posted in our class Canvas site is fair game.

4, You do not need to provide a works cited page. Because all the quotes/references you include are coming from course material, you just need to provide enough identifiable information that I can track back to the specific source- so, for a direct quote from a reading, include author name and page number; for a video, include title of video; for a PowerPoint identify the quote as being from Arrington PowerPoint and provide a title or subject so I know which PP it came from; for a picture, describe the picture you are referencing, etc.
