Topic: For years, I believed in the absurd notion that this country had at last gotten to the point where people, for the most part, were ready to put prejudices aside (or at least in the background) and work on living in this wonderful country as members of one race—the human race. However, on the night of February 26, 2012, a 17-year-old African American high school student, Trayvon Martin, was fatally shot. That event seemed to have been just the beginning of what has become a turbulent racial divide in America. Write one essay on what you see as the answer for bridging this divide, or write one essay for what you see as the causes/effects of the racial tension in America.
