  • Resumen

  • The Struggle for Equality Part IV (Employment Challenges During the Reagan Administration)
    In this episode of #BewareTheDay with Ryan O. Adams, today's lesson delves into the tumultuous landscape of employment equality during the Reagan Administration. Affirmative Action, once a beacon of hope for marginalized communities, began to crumble under political pressure, leaving many to face unprecedented challenges.
    As we navigate the legal battlegrounds of the time, we uncover pivotal Supreme Court rulings that reshaped the course of affirmative Action. In Memphis, a landmark case highlighted the clash between seniority rights and racial equality, setting a precedent that reverberated nationwide. The burden of proof shifted, placing a heavier onus on minority workers seeking justice against discriminatory practices.
    In our Black History Spotlight, we spotlight the Sugar Land 95, a group of individuals whose stories lie buried beneath the sugar cane fields of Texas. Sugar Land, once a hub of the convict leasing system, reveals a dark chapter in American history where exploitation and injustice thrived under the guise of economic prosperity.
    Join us as we unpack the complexities of employment challenges and reflect on the enduring struggle for equality in the face of adversity.
