Week 5 Draft Questions - Kimia Preston

1. In the NPR piece about protesting Trump's policies with music, they mention that "People just wanted to hear songs that make them feel like they are part of the fight". How does music help people feel like they are involved in the cause?

2. While farmworkers are now deemed "essential workers" in this time of COVID crisis, they are being blocked from receiving stimulus payments, unemployment insurance, or any other aid packages. How does the term "essential" differ between races/ethnicity during this time?

3. Latino families are disproportionately hit by the effects of the country-wide shutdowns as lay-offs are becoming increasingly common and savings accounts are being drained. What are some other ways that minority groups are being disproportionately affected?
