Source materials for the following questions will be found at Color as a Barrier to Forum Access, Forum Control, based on readings of Mann and Zatz, Images of Color, Images of Crime, Roxbury Publishing, 1998, Introduction and Chapter 1: "The Power of Images." Try to answer in 25 words or so. Make each answer integral, so that I can read it without reference to the exercise or the question itself.

1. Why does Derrick Bell say "they would have invented us" if we hadn't existed, of Blacks? (Images of Color, p.vii and lecture notes)

3. How does the problem of "voice" enter this issue of the "stubborn child?"

4. Give examples of institutional discrimination that might affect the "stubborn child." (Images of Color, p. 4)
