Dennis Nilsen grew up feeling isolated from his parents and both his older and younger sisters. When his parents got divorced when Dennis was five years old, he was sent to live with his grandparents. Dennis had always been close with his grandfather. Some years later when his grandfather passed away, Dennis was devastated. When he saw his grandfather lying in the casket at the funeral, something in his mind snapped; this moment may have led to his malicious behavior. Dennis would later go on to murder twelve people and attempt to murder several others before being arrested in 1983. Dennis was sentenced to life in name of prison, where he still sits today.

The world has a lot of coffee drinkers and many coffee shops to accommodate these people’s needs. There are so many coffee shops that sometimes it’s hard to choose where to go. I have personally experienced many different coffee shops and they are all the same, calm music, sit down places, with the same variety of coffee. I have found a shop that is different, it’s now my favorite place to go for coffee. It just so happens to be Dutch Bros Coffee.

William Johnson was born a slave in the year 1809 but was freed by his owner, probably his father in 1820. His owner had earlier released William’s sister and mother. William Johnson upon being freed became a barber apprentice in Natchez town. William’s brother-in-law had a barbershop which he took over in 1830 and later on got married to Amy Battles. They had eleven children. Amy was a free person and just like William was black (National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007). William Johnson went on to operate several barbershops, owned land, and rented buildings. He also had a bathhouse and regularly loaned white and black people money which was paid at an interest. Like other free blacks in the South, William Johnson owned slaves and at times sold them too. The diary is a record of his daily personal endeavors, majorly about the payment of his debts, the items he bought and the running of his family. William was murdered by a free black man, Baylor Winn, with whom they had a boundary conflict. Despite his murderer being identified, he escaped prosecution since according to his evidence, he was a white man, and so no black man could testify against him (Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007).

There, a Scottish flag flies over an easily missed gravestone in a small churchyard. This stone was erected by an American Founding Father over the burial plot of an officer in the British Army during the Revolution.

Robert Davis was an African American man. He was not a “thug,” he was not a “drunk,” he was a retired school teacher from New Orleans who was in his sixties. He was brutally attacked by three police officers. He suffered a broken nose and other broken bones in his face. The incident was recorded and went viral. Davis was arrested but faced no charges. Three police officers were charged but only two went to trial. In the end, two of the police officers were fired — the third never made it to trial because he had committed suicide. Davis was compensated for the assault.

Vanzetti was being tried under Massachusetts' felony-murder rule, but no direct evidence had been tied Vanzetti's .38 nickel-plated Harrington & Richardson five-shot revolver to the crime scene. The only question that arouse with it was that the slain guard apparently had one identical in type and appearance, but was missing from the crime scene. No witness testified to seeing anyone take the gun. Additionally, witnesses to the payroll shooting had described Berardelli as reaching for his gun on his hip when he was cut down by pistol fire from the robbers, but his holster was empty when the body was found. There were other attempts made at proving he had stolen the gun, but not proper evidence or complete advance was able to be shown.

Even before Lazarus’ conversion, a social bond between these two Paduan physicians would have been perfectly natural since the university was notable for its tolerance of Jewish students and faculty members. Despite its proximity to the Vatican, Padua was part of the free Venetian state and was located some twenty-five miles south of the port city. Humanists believed that a person’s worth should be judged by their breadth of knowledge and culture, by accomplishments and not by fortune or religion, and the University of Padua sought out the best teachers regardless of their personal beliefs. It relaxed the requirement that graduates avow their belief in Christianity as a prerequisite to obtaining a degree. The first Jewish medical student graduated
