In Unit 6-9 we discussed the effect that institutions have on the development of racial ideas, attitudes, and experiences. We specifically discussed the institutions of education, banking/wealth, policing, and housing and how they affect people of color in the United States. These are not individual experiences, the connections between all four institutions are deep and intertwined. In your final paper, explain the relationship between Education, Wealth, Housing, and Policing in relation to race. 
In your papers be sure to accomplish the following:
Explain the role of institutional racism in the United States.
Describe how these institutions are affected by Institutional Racism.
Explain how these institutions affect the daily lives of Americans, specifically pointing to the experiences of people of color and these institutions.
Based on your analysis, explain whether the issues of one institution directly or indirectly affect the others. Explain how if they do, or explain why they do not interact. 
Describe the effects these institutions have on your local environment.
Based on your analysis, propose solutions that address the intersection of all these issues rather than treating the symptoms.
