Hate crimes like what happened to Emmitt Till still happen today. This shows us that not all groups have complete rights that we are entitled to as humans. Many times, some of us have engaged in hateful behavior without thinking about it. Watch the video below (you are going to have to do it at home or CPL because Youtube is blocked by CPS). As you watch the video, how does the teacher connect the phrases "that is so Jewish" with the phrase "that is so gay?" Talk about a time in which you have said or heard someone say "that is so gay." Why was it said and how did you react? What is the message that the phrase "that is so gay" gets across about being gay? Explain and refer to the blog expectations for full credit.

Emmitt Till
After having learned about Emmitt Till and the actions of Moses Wright, do you think Moses Wright was a bystander, upstander, victim, or perpetrator? (He can be a combination of the terms). Be sure to explain.
