If the recent elections of a Black man to the presidency and a Hispanic woman to the Supreme Court of the United States, or news that Ku Klux Klan membership is down from its estimated high of 6 million in 1924 to about 8,000 in 2008 makes one think racism is gone from America, think again! Idaho residents still express concern about the image of the state even though virtually all the white supremacist compounds are gone from there. Recent incidents in communities as diverse as Cambridge, Massachusetts (MA), and Paris, Texas (TX), provide more evidence that racism and bigotry are alive and well on American soil. The many public and private agencies that exist to combat some aspect of America's struggle with racism, bigotry, prejudice, stereotyping, and hatred make it clear that Americans have not overcome these challenges. In this essay, the author illustrates the extent of racism in the United States and advocates specific ways teachers can combat bigotry in their classrooms.
