1. Karon, Bertram P. Black scars; a rigorous investigation of the effects of discrimination, with an appendix on the southern white. 4th ed.th ed. New York: Springer Pub. Co., 1975. 193-96. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

I found this book in the NEIU catalog. I think it will be helpful because it informs you on the effects that discrimination had on African Americans. I am not just focusing on African Americans, but I think it would be a good place to start from. I can form ideas with this.

2. Jackson, Mary A. Policing in a diverse society: another American dilemma. 17th ed. Durham, NC: Carolina academic press, 2006. 165-78. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This book was found on the NEIU catalog also. I feel like this is going to be one of my most important sources. This book goes into detail of all the different things that people can discriminate on. For example: at your work, how you work, age, class, economically, sex, ect.

3. Herszenhorn, David M. "House approves broad protections for gay workers." The New York Times 8 Nov. 2007, new york ed.: 1+. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This newspaper shows an article about a rare thing that you don’t really get to hear too much about. It focuses on gay workers and what they are going through, and also why protection needed to be made. I am also not focusing the attention on gays, but I am focusing on all types of discrimination.

4. Otto, Anna, John Mcwhorter, Deborah Tannen, Tong McEnery, and Lee Siegel. "Why do educated people use bad words?" The New York Times 12 Apr. 2010, new york ed. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This newspaper article is recent, and I wanted to use something that wasn’t just from the past. I wanted to prove that discrimination still exists today. I like that this article shows what the problem is with politicians using discrimination. It’s happening with everyone, and it goes more into just the simple fact of discrimination. This article studies the language of discrimination.

5. "Interracial Relations." Teen Ink 12 Aug. 2009: 5 pars. , new york ed.Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

The interesting thing about this magazine article is that all these articles are written by teenagers. They mostly do it anonymously, and I find it that more interesting. I chose this one about couples that explored all races and their opinion on it. I find it important to find opinions about discrimination from all ages.

6. Bindas, Kenneth J. "Re-remembering a segregated past; race in American memory." History & memory 22.1 (2010): 113-34. , new york ed.America: History & Life. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This journal is a recent one that I found extremely helpful. This journal contained numerous oral histories on some major events that contributed to discrimination, and how it had affected them. I think this will be useful to see what people who are alive today went through back then. It gives you some history along with the present.

7. Metzler, Christopher J. "Barack Obama's faustian bargain and the fight for America's racial soul." Journal of black studies 40.3 (2010): 395-410. America: History & Life. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This was another journal on things that went back to the 1950’s and to the present day. It showed the presidents view on discrimination, and what we need to do to fix it. This also makes me think on adding solutions at the end of my research paper.

8. Dovidio, John F., Agata Gluszek, John S. Melissa, Ruth Ditlmann, and Paul Lagunes. "Understanding bias toward Latinos: Discrimination, dimensions of difference, and expericence of exclusion." Journal of social issues 66.1 (2010): 59-78. Race relations abstracts. Web. 14 Apr. 2010. .

This journal is going to help me get another view on race, and how it affects the race itself. I am not just focusing on Latinos, but once again, this can give me more education on different things. I’m trying to get an understanding from everything.

9. For my primary source I plan on doing an interview with my Aunt. Her name is Heidi Sanchez, and she has experienced discrimination. At one point her roommate wouldn’t allow her black boyfriend in their apartment because of his skin color. My aunt went through struggles with her friend, and eventually moved out because of it.

10. I would like to do two interviews. I think it would really connect with the feeling aspect part of my paper. The second person that I would like to interview is a professor at Northeastern Illinois University. His name is Manuel Cuba, and he is the most amazing person I have ever met. He would be one man who knows a lot about this. He came her in the United States as a foreign exchange student, and was just thrown into our culture. He succeeded, and he inspires Latinos to do so as well. He would be a great help to this paper.
