Choose another witch hunt to research. This will not be the Salem witch trials or McCarthyism and the Red Scare. Instead, I would like you to research another point in history when a group of people was targeted and persecuted because of fear. Some examples might include the following:

Genocide in Rwanda
Japanese internment camps
HIV scare in the 1980s and 1990s
Hate crimes and racial profiling after 9-11
Lynchings in the United States after the Civil War
