Joseph is a redshirt senior who has appeared in 41 games for UConn, while registering 260 total tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss. Joseph is the leader of the defense and is responsible for lining of the linemen and linebackers. Joseph is active in run defense and has the ability to cover some tight ends and slower running backs. Joseph does not posses elite athleticism, which has turned into an essential trait for inside linebackers to succeed in the NFL today. Joseph plays sideline-to-sideline but does not have the speed to track down offensive players who breakthrough on the outside. Joseph will get a chance at the next level, but I believe there are stronger candidates for the 2018 Senior Bowl due to Joseph’s lack of athleticism.

Jesse Jackson’s core beliefs and his relevance in history are vital within the understanding of the Civil Rights movement and the equality between races.

I pledge my best to not let them down.” Jesse Jackson publicly shared his ideas and opinions on politics and the American government.

Martin Luther King Jr., the most important Civil Rights leader, once said “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most influential individuals in United States history, and is still recognized today for his peaceful approach on change. He believed that it was the peoples’ job to point out the flaws of society, and hold the government accountable for them. Many say that it is not the peoples’ responsibility to take this kind of action; however, no one has the leverage that the people do. The heart is to the body as the citizens are to the country. Without the active engagement of the people in the system, the country would fall flat of its responsibilities. With the absence of civil

Every state should’ve been like Longtown in the America 200 years ago because Longtown was a free place for everyone no matter their color. Longtown needs to be taken care of the most because it’s the first town where race and color didn't matter.An article published by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history:Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” and a youtube video called “Vanishing Act” both explains how a town in Ohio was one of the first places to be free of discrimination.

Even though the South’s backwardness was on display for the entire country to see, there were still those who refused to give up their style of life. African Americans of southern states continued during this violent time to demand equal and fair treatment. Jim Crow laws defined them as second class citizens, required them to continue to be subservient to whites. They were unable to receive proper health care, they had to live in certain sections of town, and were forced to withstand abuse of all nature without protection from law enforcement. Through these times though, civil rights groups, such as the NAACP and movements continued to face the dangers of a hostile Southern population. In their way stood hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizens Council, ready to fight for their beliefs. Jim Crow laws were held up at not only the state levels but, also, the federal government. Even through adversity, the call for real freedom was heard. Many African American and even whites were inspired by great leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and little Linda Brown. The courage of the African American community during Jim Crow can be summed up by Harper Lee, “Real courage is…when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter

Being a computer science students we already have the necessary knowledge to make this possible, as
