 * Discrimination**, **Why It Needs To Stop**

I picked this topic because I feel that discrimination is something that we all need to get over. Since it happened in the past and that it should stay in the past. All over the world, we have many different types of discrimination. We have racial discrimination, discrimination towards someones religion, discrimination towards someones ethnic backround, and even some gender discrmiantion, especially when it comes to finding jobs. Though there isn't a lot of racial discrimination here in the north, it still lives in the south, not like discrimination against religion or ethnic backround, because that is seen and happening all over the world. This is a real problem because no one should ever have to feel so sorrow just because they aren't allowed in a certain store or a particular restaurant. I believe everyone is equal!

 * ACT** I- Language Lab- We introduce our topic-//

//**ACT** II- I will me going in the quad and in this seen I will, tell a story about something recent that dealt with discrimination against African Americans. This will be a solo scene, with just my face. When I directly say something specific about the discrimination story I tell, the camera person will zoom in.

Characters(s): Me//

>"A lot of people think that most African American discrimination happens in the south, but the story I'm about to tell happend recently, right here in Brooklyn. The story is about a principal named Tyona Washington. She was the principal of Canarsie High School who received a noose along with a racially charged letter. According to the police, the letter did not make any direct threats but said, “I’ll give you enough rope to hang yourself." The letter also included the words “white power forever” and included a racial slur. The Canarsie episode was at least the eighth time in the past few weeks that a noose was discovered in the New York area. Ms. Washington, 44, who was previously the principal of Middle School 390 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, could not be reached for comment the night of the event, but Ms. Parks, another teacher, said she had stayed at the school throughout the day."

//**ACT** III- Bench by the Pond-Gabriela tells a story of her Grandmother-//

//Character(s): Gaby K This is also a solo scene, just on Gaby. She will tell her grandma's story://

>"My grandma is from Belorussia, Minsk. When she was ten WW2 started. She was in summer camp, and her mom and brother (her dad died from cancer when she was 5) were supposed to pick her up. They took the campers away from the camp on a train, and to an orphanage. Her mom was looking for her, and couldn’t find her. Eventually, they took her away both my grandma’s mother and her brother to a concentration camp because they were Jewish, and killed them. She got a letter saying that her brother and mother were killed. In the orphanage she only ate potatoes, and if she were lucky she would get a piece of bread. Later her aunt picked her up, and feed her. Now my grandma is living in Brooklyn, but when she tells me this story she has tears in her eyes. My grandma doesn’t even remember her parent’s faces. This is my tragic story. Discrimination is happening a lot in the world it has too stop!!!!!! It doesn't matter what the persons color or religion is we are all equal."
