Albert Scott's The Montgomery Boycott

African American individuals still faced inhumane discrimination and were often not looked at as people, let alone cared for or acknowledged. To anyone else, their opinions did not matter and their lives were not valued. The 1930?s was also a time in which America was being rebuilt after the detrimental effects of the Great Depression. Furthermore, there was a greater presence of African Americans in northern states, which brought about racial tension from powerful white figures who did not want African Americans in what they believed to be ?their cities?. The struggle to find jobs was present all over, and African Americans found it even more difficult to support themselves. The narrator faced all these obstacles throughout the course of this novel.

Almost every time, social change occurs with thoughtful, and committed groups of people who are able to spread their influence to others and grow in popularity to defend and stay true to their cause. This form of social change was very evident during the Civil Rights movement of the United States. Groups seeking change must fit these criteria in order to have an effect on society. This form of social uprising is shown in “Montgomery Boycott” by Coretta Scott King. In this account of the boycotts, it is shown that there is a group seeking change after the Rosa Parks situation. Also, this group being thoughtful in how they not only stand up for Ms. Parks, but the entire black community in seeking fair treatment for all, not just themselves. In addition,

Albert Einstein went through a lot of struggles and conflicts in life. He struggled in school. People made fun of him because he had a learning disability, Dyslexia. Dyslexia is when you have trouble reading, because letters look different than they actually are. He also failed his college entrance exam and he lost three teaching positions in two years. He became a famous scientist because he did not care what other people thought about him.

“For many years now Negroes in Montgomery and so many other areas have been inflicted with the paralysis of crippling fears on buses in our community. On so many occasions, Negroes have been intimidated and humiliated and impressed-oppressed-because of the sheer fact that they were Negroes.”

Racial discrimination has a great impact on people of various races. Throughout the past generations, many people have faced discrimination because of the way that they look. People have been hated, beaten, killed and made fun of. Many people have been put down because of the way that they look. Adults, teens and even children began thinking less of themselves after the incidents. Many African Americans started considering themselves inferior to whites, which lead them to perform worse in school and daily activities. Looking at the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the video experiment Brown Eyes and Blue Eyes performed by Jane Elliott, it is evident that African Americans faced discrimination for hundreds of years, which lead them to consider themselves inferior amongst all other people.

In the beginning chapters of the book, we get a glimpse of the typical home and community of an African American during segregation. Many Africans Americans were too adjusted to the way of living, that they felt

December 1, 1955, an African-American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. By refusing to give up her seat, Rosa Parks was arrested. Dr. King held a meeting at his church the next night to discuss ways of dealing with her arrest and protesting her arrest. So, they decided that they would have a bus boycott, beginning on Monday, December the 5th. Her refusal caused what is now known as the Montgomery Boycott. Since the boycott caused a larger quantity of all black patrons, Dr. King realized that although a boycott was needed, many of the patrons were afraid of taking a chance on boycotting because of the effect it may have

The American civil rights movement took place in the 1950s-60s. I'm going to write about the Montgomery bus boycott and Woolworth’s Lunch Counter protest.

My name is Morgan, and in my opinion, it is ok to break the law depending on what law you are breaking and why you are breaking it. The laws I will be focusing on will be laws that will do no harm to anybody if broken. I will also be using the Montgomery Bus Boycott as a historical example.

The purpose of the book was to educate today's generation and everyone else on how hard life was for black people in the before and during the 1950s. The book tells the reader all the gross and inhumane things white people did to black people in the South. even though the book doesn't say that a black person was killed or burned or tortured, the things that black had to go through was probably equal or worse than that. "Negroes", as they were called by the whites were not allowed to use the same bathrooms as white people. All the bathrooms throughout town were segregated and almost all the time, black people had to walk mile through town to get a place to pee or defecate. Even on buses, the whites didn't sit next to the blacks. They preferred standing to sitting to next to a "filthy" person even when there was a seat right next black person. The white people ever talked to the blacks because of the misconceptions they had about them. One of the few times a white person(man) talked to a black person was when the white person wanted to know where he could find a black woman or black women to have sex with.

In the late eighteen hundreds, the Reconstruction by Congress was overturned by the Supreme Court. Segregation or separation by skin color was made a law which was adopted by private organizations, institutions and businesses (loc.gov). Physical violence and mental harassment was imposed upon those whom were deemed inferior in color. Some citizens accepted the law, as is, without question while others believed it was their supreme right to remain separate without modification. Human activists, that opposed this way of living, pursued an extensive battle to abolish racial inequity and segregation from American life (loc.gov). During the nineteen hundreds, many understood this treatment as an offense to human beings and activists began

To further compare Algeria to America, Underhill employs the image of legal practices in both countries. He demonstrates that in Algiers in terms of justice, “instant decision relieved the anxiety and saved the purses of the parties” and shows how in America’s judicial system, “the long bill of cost, [and] the law’s delay . . . had taught [him] to view the judicial proceedings of our country with a jaundiced eye” (Tyler, 200). Through showing this difference, he believes that change may be elicited in the United States as well. “I present it to my fellow citizens. If it is generally pleasing, it may be easily introduced among us” (Tyler, 202).

Immanuel Kant, a well-known philosopher and writer, once said in his essay “An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?,” “Nothing is required for this enlightenment, however, except freedom; and the freedom to question is the least harmful of all, namely, the freedom to use reason publicly in all matters. But on all sides I hear: ‘Do not argue!’ The officer says, ‘Do not argue, drill!’ The tax man says, ‘ Do not argue, pay!’ The pastor says, ‘ Do not argue, believe!’” Throughout his essay, and many other works, there is a call to throw off the shackles of blind acceptance and come into a new light of reason and continuous questioning and analysis. This is the basis for modern science; what we cannot explain, we explore, and even that which we are certain of is subject to discussion, debate, and open criticism. In our culture there has been a tacit compliance to allow knowledge and debate fall to the back burners, behind what “experts” say and what we read in the newspaper or hear on the television.

At its current rate, the relationship between sport and media is quickly adapting to the new emerging technologies and the way in which teams, sports leagues, and media companies deliver their content is changing with it. While radio and TV were staples of the way people consumed sporting events for decades, technology is changing and improving every year, making the viewing of sport much more dynamic and versatile. Moreover, as a result of social media, teams and leagues are building closer relationships with their fan-bases and delivering content in new ways. Finally, leagues are creating large-scale broadcasting deals with media companies in order to increase their revenue and expand their financial capabilities, which, in turn, limits the
