Given the impact of the slavery issue upon Missouri’s politics at the time, the Judge Hall hoped for the trail to be conducted as expeditiously and decorously as possible, in a manner that ran the least risk of arousing the ire of either camp. Judge Hall needed a capable attorney, one of considerable standing in the community. He needed an attorney with proven political sensibilities, one who had not participated significantly in the slavery debates. In short, he needed an attorney who could be depended upon to give Celia a credible defense, one whose presence would make it difficult for slavery’s critics to label the trial a farce or sham and one who would not arouse the
President Wilson's own ineptitude and stubbornness is what led to the Senate's defeat of the Treaty of Versailles, rather than the strength of the opposing forces. Even Wilson's closest and most trusted advisors could not sway his stance. Wilson was strong in his stance and incorporated the idea of the 14 points. While it is true that opposing forces contributed to defeat the treaty, it was Wilson's unmovable position that led to its ultimate defeat in the Senate.
When Papa says this things been a long time coming, T.J. just triggered it, I think it mean that the night men were going to come but T.J. made them come even earlier than expected. I think this because people haven't accepted that everyone is equal and segregation isn’t right. T.J. was not the only one who killed the man and stole things, R.W. and Melvin did to, but they wore stockings over their face to look black. Even if R.W. and Melvin weren't wearing the stockings they wouldn't have gotten as much trouble as T.J. because they are white. No one could kill or sentence them to a chain gang back then because if you did their racist father would call the Night Riders or kill you. I know that the Night Riders also known as the KKK did horrible things to people, T.J. was no exception. R.W. and Melvin father was one of the ones hurting T.J. and his family, so clearly they were also teaching their children to do the same. Hanging out with these kids, T.J. had it coming getting in trouble because his so called friends were racist and just using T.J., just like their father. He should have realized that, but he didn't, and things didn't end up going well for T.J.
Have you ever been on your own in your early life? It's hard to take care of yourself at an early age, therefore you either get tough or die. All the Right Stuff by Walter Dean Myers gives the perfect example of this. Paul, a kid that has been practically taking care of himself, has been through a lot of good and bad throughout his life so far. Paul has been working at a soup kitchen for a while now, as well as helping a girl named Keisha pursue her dream in basketball. Paul is a pretty open minded person besides the fact that he doesn’t like to listen to Elijah's life tips. Elijah is the owner of the soup kitchen, and helps out Paul with whatever he needs.

T. Hall was singled out because then gender identification was based on what clothes you wore and your role in the society. Since T. Hall had both gender organs T would wear both men and woman’s clothing. Since residing as a male in Virginia, when he would wear woman’s clothing people became confused about his gender he was then brought to trial for gender identity to be determined. The women in the trail used to help determine the gender of T was on the side that he was a male due to T having male organs. However, since the male organs did no function like a typical male would, the males of the court found him to be a female. This stirred up arguments within the court and the Judge's final ruling was that T was to have neither male or female

With the way people reacted towards a black man being a cop, you knew not everyone was keen of them having the same jobs as a white man yet. One scene where you knew people didn’t want Tibbs around was when he was being chased by four or five white men. They didn’t want him to be involved with the murder case in their town and wanted to beat him up to make him leave. At one point in the movie those men had cornered Tibbs into a barn up against a wall. The men picked up various tools and chains from inside the barn and were getting ready to beat him since he was trapped. Tibbs began fighting back and protecting himself with the metal bar he picked up. Then Officer Gillespie calmly walks inside the barn, watches what is happening and tells the men to stop what they are doing since they have had their fun and to get out of there now. Of course, the men don’t just leave without saying a few things and warning the officer that he has to get rid of the black man or they will. Officer Gillespie, as one would guess, didn’t like the comments they made and being the kind of man he is, he stood up for Tibbs and told the men off and gave them a few punches. This shows the viewers, that people were still not okay with black men being treated like white men, and didn’t want them to get equal opportunities. It also shows the side where

“If we can't begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future.” Alexis Herman. The progressive era, spanning from the 1890s to the 1920s was a time where investigative journalism otherwise known as muckraking brought major issues to light, including child labor. Child labor, while not as prominent is the United States today, is still happening in our community on both a local and national level. This is due to loopholes in laws, as well as patterns of child labor created in the Progressive Era that despite its horrors, still continues today. Overall, child labor during the Progressive Era has created a destructive cycle that has been
Sullivan cannot be analyzed without considering the complexity of its context. The year 1964 proved to be a turning point for the Civil Rights Movement. The Ku Klux Klan demonstrated their full potential for destruction and activists established their determination in what would become known as the Freedom Summer. Whilst these events received wide recognition for years to come, the Times’ case remained an underrated climax for blacks in the Court. Exactly one decade following Brown v. Board of Education, the Court gave civil rights activists’ a degree of assurance that the it would remain on their side. They had the media’s support during peaceful protests, and it seemed that they had a clearly cut path to
