Black Engineering Society Research Paper

We celebrate black achievement in February to honor people who oftentimes have been overlooked due to racism and bigotry. We also acknowledge their achievements not only to inspire others, but to make sure we do not see ourselves repeating the same bigotry we experienced in our past. Robert A. Heinlein once said, “Those who forget their past are destined to repeat it.” It is crucial that we encourage young African Americans to strive to succeed in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. “The deeper problems,” Darryll Pines, dean of the school of engineering at the University of Maryland–College Park, said, “are a sense of hopelessness among certain communities, and a feeling of not being treated equitably in the educational system and the legal system.” (Bidwell, “African-American Men: The Other STEM Minority”) When Pines mentioned the sense of hopelessness he was addressing how young African Americans feel as if there is no point in trying to succeed in these fields. These young people need to grow up hearing about the African Americans that have and continue to overcome racism and bigotry. They should not feel like they are less important because the color of their skin. One specific woman we should remember is Madam C.J.

Black Codes were enacted in 1865 and 1866 by new southern state governments. Similar to the Slave Codes that existed before the Civil War, these Black Codes sought to regulate past slaves lives such as prohibiting freed slaves to serve on juries or to testify against a white person in court. Although the Black Codes granted African Americans to possess and sell property and legalized black marriages, interracial marriage between white and black Americans was outlawed. Unfortunately, some states even went further to control the lives of African Americans by limiting their economic freedoms such as, preventing any African Americans from purchasing or renting farmland in the state of Mississippi. As a result of decreeing the Black Codes, a division

“Cooning” was a TV show or Film usually they act like idiot behavior that misrepresents African American culture. I think idiot because that shows a deliberate act. Many people called “coons.” Yes, I saw some examples today’s culture some white people still discriminate black people. Some white people were enjoying it, and that seems to some people they insulted African- American behaves. African-American got angry. It was not fair at all that behavior. All are good examples.

As a part of the HBCU Alumni Alliance’s Higher Education initiative program; Alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are concerned about the inadequate representation of minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related professions. Consequently, DCHBCUAA STEM professionals have designed and organized an instructional hands-on STEM workshop for students in grades 10-12, to enlighten them on the different facets of professions available in the sciences. As a part of our community partnership with Kaiser Permanente, we have a workshop scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 800 am-5:00 pm, at 2101 Jefferson Street in Rockville, Maryland.

“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden (paradise) whose width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous – Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain (their) anger and pardon (all) men – for God loves those who do good.” Qur’an:3:133-134

African Americans have been making history for years knowing people will think they are not capable of exceeding anything, that african Americans are incapable to change the world but it was possible and the proof is right in front of you with the products they have created that benefit everyone today. Math is one of the reason that help us understand why the world is like this today and how everything function, also it brought us mathematician which is an expert in math, so anyone can be a mathematician and it doesn’t matter what gender, race, ethnicity, and etc. An african-american mathematician known as Dr. J. Ernest Wilkins Jr. is known for america’s most important contemporary mathematician which is a big title for this individual was

Many historians argue that race has played a central role in the history of the United States. The statement previously made is a factual statement because there is historical evidence to prove it is true. Knowing and taking in count that there is a lot of racial discrimination for all different races, our main focus will be on the African American (black) race.

Known around the nation as the Negro Wall Street, the community of Greenwood was the wealthiest black community at that time. African Americans moved to the Greenwood area of Tulsa to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them.

Blackfeet is a Native American clan. This clan is very connected with nature. They love nature, and everything in it.

She was old, around her 60’s to 70’s. Each cheekbone outlined to the slightest. Her hair frizzy on top like cotton. She wore a shawl pinned together by a safety pin. Her name was Evelyn Marshall Thomas. Evelyn worked at a hair dresser, and everyone knew her. She was respected amongst everyone in the town and was the “grandma” of the town. People would go to her to talk and express their feelings like she was their therapist, but Evelyn had problems too; she lived in heavy poverty. Everyday Evelyn had the same routine: she woke up, readied herself for the day, and left for work, on the walk to work she say the same people: the newspaper boy on his runs, the florist tending to her flourishing flowers, the corner store owner who zealously ran around his store preparing for the forthcoming day. Her life was as simple as possible.

During the late eighteen hundred there were many poor immigrant families who migrated to the United States to have a better opportunity. As a result, many poor families ended up working on really terrible jobs with terrible conditions (469). To escape from the cruel reality of their horrible jobs many big cities had Amusement Parks where the middle and working class family would go to enjoy shows and attractions like the famous “Trip to the moon” (463). Many other families realize that is was not like they had imagined it would be so in the night they would remember how their life was back in Europe (469). In the night many people would look up to the starts and fall sleep looking at the window from their tiny apartment (470). Even though these tactics of remembering the past, going out to Amusement Parks and star gazing did distracted the mind from their work it didn’t actually improved the working conditions on which they worked so they were highly ineffective.

There are considerable health inequalities amongst Britain’s social classes. Health is formed by socio-economic, political and environmental factors; these elements shape inequalities and influence the health of various social groups in Britain.

Although situational attribution prevails dispositional attribution within the Black male community, there are incongruous instances in which Black men have overcome the stigmas, relishing the social, economic, and political mobility they have achieved. However, even with social stability many prominent Black professionals still endure disenfranchisement. Looking strictly at the academia within a Black community, the National Center for Education Statistics reports that, “A majority of African-American males in the 4th, 8th, and 12th grades do not reach grade-level proficiency in reading, mathematics, history, and science,” (NCES, 2007, 2009).
