The National Black Political Convention attracted 8,000 people from across the United States to Gary, Indiana. Its objective was to establish an integrated political agenda that set priorities for African Americans in America. The convention was held at Gary’s Westside High School. It ran from March 10 through 12, 1972, the convention proposed to address various issues blacks were facing at the time.
This chapter is about how Sudhir began to study the poor African Americans near the University of Chicago campus. Although the students at the University of Chicago campus were warned to stay away from certain areas around the campus, Sudhir began to venture into these neighborhoods. Hearing about and seeing the poor African American neighborhoods led him to begin his research. He was lead to the Lake Park projects in an effort to interview young black men (Venkatesh 2008:9). This is where he met J.T. a member of a local gang. Using the interview questions he had prepared for his interviews did not get him any useful information. As Sudhir was being turned away, J.T. offered that “With people
In “The Black Panther Platform: What We Want, What We Believe,” Huey Newton and Bobby Seale use intersectionality and contradiction to criticize several structural obstacles that facilitated unfair treatment of black people. Some of these injustices included inequalities in basic necessities like housing and education, the economic exploitation of black people in a capitalist society, and military, judicial, and police targeting of black people. Hegemonic ideologies had been dictating the lives of black people for centuries, and the Black Panther Party was a revolutionary socialist party founded in 1966 during the Civil Rights Movement that sought to promote the counter-hegemonic movement in favor of civil liberties. The ideologies that the
During the book, Black like Me, John Howard Griffin turned himself into a black man to experience the true discrimination of the south. His experiment is six weeks long. During these six weeks he experienced many different kinds of people in the south and how the treated black people. After he had finished his six week experiment he stopped taking the medication that turned his skin darker, which then turned him back into a white man. After all, some people dispute the fact that he actually experienced true treatment of a black man. I disagree with that that statement, because although he was only a black man for six weeks he still experienced the hardship that the black man faces every day of his life.
"Five police officers died and seven were injured," because of the protest of Black Lives Matter. The United States is becoming a divided country because of racial issues. This country has been dealing with racism ever since 1776; when America became a country.
Every summer I look forward to sitting on a large, warm cabana under the Texas sun. My feet buried in the sand as I welcome the lukewarm waves against my legs. Being a beach bum in South Padre Island, Texas is a great way to bring on the summer. This island isn’t short of attractions, from the beautiful ocean, to tasty restaurants, to fireworks over the ocean you will never get bored on your vacation! Last summer I was joined by a few of my closest friends. We made so many memories as we all went parasailing for the first time. Our relationship grew stronger as we were able to share a new experience together. Spending a few weeks in South Padre Island with family and close friends is a great way to make memories that will last a lifetime.
The first photo shown is of protester Leisha Evans being detained by law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge July 09, 2016. Those who were around in the 1960's and 1970's the image immediately harkens back to the photos of the killings at Kent State in 1970 and the protests in Tiananmen square in China.
In 2010, the University of North Carolina (the “University”) launched an investigation into the department of African and Afro-American (AFAM) studies, in which several athletes were given special treatment in “paper classes” (Hartlyn and Andrews 1). In July of 2011, a student athlete, Michael McAdoo, filed a lawsuit against the University and the NCAA due to his ineligibility to play football. In the complaint, the student attached a paper for his Swahili 403 course in which evidence of plagiarism was found (“Evidence of Academic”). In addition, some players had been receiving grades in classes that did not exist in the AFAM department (Lyall). This fraudulent activity attracted media attention to the University and Karen Gil, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, launched an investigation to analyze the previous academic years ranging from 2007 to 2011 (“Evidence of Academic”). The findings from the review committee included unauthorized grade changes, forged faculty signatures on grade rolls and limited to no class time (the “Crisis”).
My short paper I will be writing on the following documents the Black Panthers and the people and the police in Oakland. The Black Panther party founded in 1966 in Oakland. The Black Panthers were always armed with great words of Malcolm X, laws and weapons. The black panthers were a huge part of American history. They fed the hungry, also protected the weak, from racist police officers and was a huge focus on black political and social activism. In the mid-1960s, the black partners started neighborhood control. In these neighborhood controls they were able to provide education and police services. The black panthers were huge on supporting guns, which they believed guns are used for self-defense but also to retaliate against people who had different views about the poor.
There is a long history of racism and prejudice aim towards Black people in comic books. In the years past, many comics’ authors have battled to improve the image of Blacks in comics by encouraging, non-stereotypical Black characters. They used techniques such as applying Black protagonists, and addressing racism head on. All of these methods are effective, and with the ideal environment have the chance to support non-stereotypical Image of Black people. Even so the mixing of black characters in in superhero comics has undergone countless obstacles and challenges.
Black crimes in America are caused solely by the actions of black people. The previous statement is said throughout both rural and urban American, and it is based off of uneducated and racist ideologies. The criminal actions of blacks are partly contributed to their own decision making, though the same holds true for criminals of all races. However, black people in America have the longest lasting and most destructive history of racism towards them in modern American history, and this has led them to be the most poverty stricken race in America.
America is a unique nation with a diverse population, a unique culture, and an irreplaceable history; America has it all. Like every country, questions about America’s origin, values, and core beliefs continue to arise with a common question being “Is America a Christian nation?” There are those who profess with certainty that America is a Christian nation and there are those who proclaim profusely it is not. American history has been used by both sides to prove America’s religious or irreligious heritage. Which is it, Christian or non-religious? Based on overwhelming evidence displayed throughout America’s extraordinary history, America is indubitable a Christian nation and has been since its foundation. Displayed in historical American documents and in modern American emblems, America’s ties to Christianity are astonishing, and accurately represents the truth of America’s heritage, as well as what America is now.
It was 1644, the Ming Dynasty was at its end, and the Manchu was taking over the southern part of China. This take over lasted for nearly 300 years, ending in 1911. In the late sixteenth century an able leader unified the Manchurian tribes and proclaimed a new dynasty (538). As the Ming was ending and the Manchus force was taking over they proclaimed themselves as conservatives keeping the array of Confucians. The Chinese felt that the running of the Manchus was far better than the leaders of the Chinese rebels. With the help of the Mings the southern part of China was taken over by 1659, in which at that time there beliefs and commitment were turned towards the thinking of the Manchu. Although the Manchus was an influential group and only
There exists a relation to the best activity that is the human good, and the quality of pleasure; of which accompanies, and is a result of action. Pleasure per Aristotle exists in an unimpeded activity, and in the bloom of youth. Virtue is needed to find what is pleasurable and what is good. Proper choice is needed to deliberately desire the best good, and as such it will be that what is most virtuous. The human good lies in an activity and that the most continuous activity is life. The human good is an activity of contemplation, and is thus the happiest of all things. Pleasure as a the best choice will be in the state of contemplation; the activity of the human good.
