Topics That I Am Interested In Exploring:[edit]
1. In How Many Instances Was The Agent Persecuted For Their Kill?[edit]
- Police officers in the Rodney King case
- George Zimmerman
- In what cases did the agent receive the fullest persecution?
- Are some states more likely to persecute the agent no matter their race?
- Does public opinion provide bias to the court's decision?
2. Why Some Black Deaths Are More Publicized Than Others[edit]
- Well Known Cases In The Last 5 Years: shooting of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Terence Crutcher, Keith Lamont Scott, Philando Castile, etc.
- Most Famous Cases: Rodney King, Sean Bell, Alton Sterling
- What causes some cases to be more known? Social media? More awareness?
3. Medical Attention and Experimentation on Slaves That Resulted In Death[edit]
- J. Marion Sims: "father of modern gynecology" who experimented on slaves
- Slave health on plantations in the United States
