Agency and oppression

Agency is what oppressed and exploited people do about their situation. Individually and collectively they can assert agency in all sorts of ways—through direct action, running for political office, expressing themselves through art and literature, organizing sports leagues., etc. You will definitely have to do some research on this but describe and analyze two different assertions of agency. You can delve into the past but you can also discuss more recent assertions. Be sure that the two acts of agency originate from two different ethnic groups. For example, you can analyze how Jewish immigrants and their children organized garment workers strikes in the early twentieth century and then how Mexican American workers organized farm worker strikes in the late twentieth century.
