Assess: Opportunities for additional counternarratives about minoritized groups not discussed in American Redux
Act: Create a political advertisement/pamphlet/poster that advocates for social change or reparations based on knowledge gained from these counternarratives. For example, what could the U.S. government do to compensate the Navajo Nation for contaminating its water?
