4. PBS Frontline

• I am going to show you a PBS Frontline documentary on one of the Supreme Court Cases we've discussed. 
• It's very important and relevant, especially to us in the context of San Diego. 
• Look out for the facts from the case and form your own opinion on how the justices should rule. 
• If you're interested in checking the bias from our source, check this out. 

5. Supreme Court Written Response
There is an assignment in Google Classroom called "RACE Response: Supreme Court Cases in Daily Life." I'm extending this deadline through next week, because I have a few more sources I want to show you on the Supreme Court.

Reminders: 

• Check Powerschool to see where you need to be. Make sure you aren't missing assignments.
• We have no school Monday thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. Do your research and enjoy the day, but make sure you're informed on why we celebrate his legacy.
