What do you think are the major challenges facing the African American community? Donât just list the challenges, but also identify why it exists and the consequences to the individual. If you were elected to the United States Senate, and you were asked to submit policy proposals to fix the challenges you listed, what would you offer in terms of solutions? For example, affirmative action was offered as a solution to increase minorities in jobs and education. So, select two major challenges you listed and offer NEW policy solutions for each of the challenges. Discuss the policy in terms of: its general intent, who it benefits, who will pay for it, how much will it cost, how will it be viewed by the beneficiaries, and how will it be viewed by the general public?
