This study tries to see how justice in the United States works and what discrimination and prejudice using a racial approach and see how to struggle the main character of these ‘small great things’ through all of the racism toward her. Racism and discrimination are two things that can't be separated. It doesn't matter if you're a good employee or a good person. At the end of the day,  you have different skin colors, and the next things you will get are injustice, discrimination, and prejudice. Every racism cannot be tolerated and this book will make you realize that people of color always struggle if they meet someone full of racist things in their life. Justice should be the last thing that they can trust from all of the things on the outside.
