(3) Discrimination can take many forms. It can be of religion, social class, color, or ethnicity to name just a few. Pulitzer Prizewinner in 2007, Natasha Trethewey sheds light on another—the discrimination of history. Her award-winning collection of poetryentitled Native Guard is making sure nobody forgets a part of history that has been too commonly left out of history books.  Natasha Trethewey is no stranger to racial discrimination. She was raised in the south by a black mother and a white father in atime when biracial marriages were still illegal. Many of her poems are in honor of her mother who was killed when Trethewey wasonly a teen. But her most important goal in this collection of poetry was to dig up a part of buried American history that is not onlyclose to her hometown, but close to her heart as well.  The Native Guard was a New Orleans-based militia group of black soldiers. It was formed to help the Union army fight off theConfederate army during the American Civil War. Their heroic efforts helped win important victories and eventually lead to moreblack soldiers being allowed to fight in the army. At the time, however, they were still discriminated against by white soldiers. Andunfortunately, although these battles have been documented, the Native Guards’ bravery has often taken a backseat to the whitesoldiers alongside whom they fought.  Natasha Trethewey’s writing poetically describes the emotions and sacrifices these soldiers experienced. Her poems have wonher a prized award and have given credit where credit is long past due. Most importantly, it has dug up an important part of historyand buried any discrimination once associated with reporting it.
