    In this article "Justice Denied by:Dan Barry, Campbell Robertson, and Robbie Brown talks about how many civil right era killings haven't been solved to this day.I feel as if the U.S government should solve the killings and I'll talk about that right now.

    The U.S government should solve these civil rights era killings.For example,it says the law authorized TENS of MILLIONS of dollars but only $2.8 million has came through. That means they have more than enough money to use so they can solve those civil rights era killings.It's not fair that many of the people killing blacks are remained UNPUNISHED.I believe that the U.S government should at least try to continue with these cases even thought there were back 50 years ago.

    In conclusion I feel as if the killings from the civil rights era should not be closed and the should still be investigated upon.

  up-Front magazine: The High Price of Cheap Fashion

   This article "The High Price of Cheap Fashion" by Patricia Smith talks about how people spend alot of money on clothes from manufacturers like H&M,Old Navy,and Banana Republic come from places like China and Bangladesh. These countries are going through alot of trouble just to send these manufacturers their clothes.

  This article "The High Price of Cheap Fashion" by Patricia Smith talks about how people spend alot of money on clothes from manufacturers like H&M,Old Navy,and Banana Republic come from places like China and Bangladesh. These countries are going through alot of trouble just to send these manufacturers their clothes.For example, in Bangladesh there was a factory that collapsed in April 2012 killing 1,127 people. These people died trying to make clothes for us to buy. There factory conditions are very unsafe and can be paid only 2 dollars a day for their long hours but almost no payment. Another example is in 1911 a triangle waste factory had collapsed killing 146 people and one of the reasonings because of that was because of how the doors to their factory were locked so there was no way of escaping. More than 50 people had to commit suicide by jumping out of the ninth floor window.This shows how many manufactures should make sure the factories making their clothes should have good payment and good conditions if they were to make their clothes.

   This article  "The High Price of Cheap Fashion" by Patricia Smith made me thonk deeper about how life is for the people working in factories in countries like China and Bangladesh.I feel like factory workers should be having better payment and better working conditions.
