The year is 1957. You, your mother and father and your younger
siblings have just arrived in the hills of Southern California from
your long and permanent journey to the United States. While
moving your belongings into the tiny two-bedroom, one bathroom
apartment in the cheap side of Sacramento, you overhear your
father discussing his new job with your mother, saying that he will
be making only 10 percent of what most white Americans make as
pickers on the grape farms. A feeling of anger wells up inside of
you, as you wish your fathers humility didnt overcome his desire
to end injustice. But you know that he just feels lucky to even have
a job and the last thing he would do is to jeopardize his newly
achieved opportunities.
1. Based upon this scenario, what factor contributes
most to your fathers inability to take action against
this?
