This chilling video is a poignant look at a portion of U.S. history that many would rather not teach simply because they wish it never happened in the first place or wish to dismiss it as a historical abberation.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) was thrown off the House floor Wednesday after wearing a hoodie and sunglasses in protest of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida.
The 'rules' about clothing, place and social context are culturally and politically institutionalized. Where can you wear what clothes, and when does that change? Should it change? The clothes literally made this particular speech, since it was about the criminalization of cultural clothing norms within racial and economic groups. Should he have been thrown off the floor? What would you have done?

“Life is more than a piece of clothing” Bubby Rush.
I do understand why congressman did what he did, but I don’t agree with him because he as a congressman, need to set an example to our youth. The house as other institution have rules that should be respect it, there are different way for you to protest if you don’t agree with certain issue. Imagine if show up to my job naked, I would be fired right way. Like my mother has always say “there is a place and time”

How did a kid armed with Skittles and an iced tea get gunned down by an overeager neighborhood watch captain? And why didn't police detain shooter George Zimmerman?
Periodically a racially charged incident involving the police will polarize public opinion and bring the discussion of race and injustice into the limelight. That is happening with the Trayvon Martin killing. On the surface it appears that an overzealous neighborhood watchman racially profiled Trayvon as being suspicious, tried to detain him as killed him. The local police are calling it self-defense even though the young man was simply minding his own business. This could be an interesting case study to investigate as a class to see the inner-workings of the law, racial dynamics and power today.
