Discussion Questions

1. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Du Bois faced systemic racism in the field of sociology, and women sociologists had to deal with systemic sexism. What do you think the chances were for women of color to become successful sociologists during Du Bois's time in the field?
2. It's easy to disapprove of the blatant discrimination against women and people of color in the past. Such obviously sexist and racist behavior is outside the norms of today's culture. But what other marginalized groups of people faced systemic discrimination 100 years ago?
3. What current systemic discriminatory behavior would people of the future be appalled by?
4. Were any of these questions difficult to answer? Why or why not?
