Black Americans in the Millennium

Introduction

According to Williams (2016), negative stereotypes and images of Black people in our culture literally create and sustain institutional and individual discrimination. Critical race theory (CRT) holds that discrimination, racism and stereotypes are ubiquitous, and racism is an everyday experience for Black Americans. The experiences of discrimination and racism can lead to exclusive work environments and result in psychological, emotional, physical and social traumas for Black Americans. Those traumas can impact their performance in the work environment.

After reading the learning material in the textbook, watching the weekly videos, reading other supplemental material, and reviewing the document titled Diversity Theories, respond to the Assignment Tasks below.
