The article I read was “An Excursion into the Black World: The “Seven Days” in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon.” In this Article we got to see how life was from a perspective by an Afro-American. In page 87 of this article, Guitar gave a reasoning in which he stated “Do we have a court?” By he means from this is that there was still at that point no justice towards black people defending themselves. For example, Guitar again stated “There are places right now where a Negro still can’t testify against a white man.” The whole quote that he stated pretty much symbolizes how less America cared for blacks and they did not count often times and were irrelevant. The only time a black person was relevant was a victim of a crime. This connects to my lens of race because again we get to see how far racism towards black more specifically here has came from and where it’s going.
