Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start, and this essay shows a clear sense of purpose, an engaging style and voice that creates interest in the essay and the topic, and sound navigation of the subject matter. The second paragraph is very long and dense, with several missed opportunities to start a new paragraph. The discussion moves forward in a logical manner, so it should be a fairly straightforward task to impose paragraphing over that block of text. Doing so will enhance presentation and flow and help the reader sort out the various facts and shifts in the overall discussion.

Similarly, the final two sentences aren't quite up to the task of concluding the entire discussion. (It may be the case that this is an unfinished draft.) Work a little further with those final moments -- you may decide to add another sentence or two that references the specific subject, or you might move the current last two sentences elsewhere and craft an entirely new ending sentence(s). Whatever the case, focus on producing a final word that finishes up the specific discussion about Black Americans so the reader is reminded of the takeaways."
