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).

Should personal vengeance be accepted in society? If personal vengeance did not interfere with the order of “polite” society, then the answer would be yes in my view. One of my criteria for proper justice is orderly conduct. In the context of the movie, personal vengeance leads to discord. The character of Carl Lee Hailey, a distraught black father whose daughter has been beaten, raped, and left for dead by two white men, takes vengeance into his own hands and kills the two men. This occurs early in the move and events snowball after that. The brother of one of the two murdered men decides to bring back the Ku Klux Klan to enact vengeance upon Carl Lee and anyone who supports Mr. Hailey. The acts of the KKK enrage many citizens of the town. Two groups are pitted against each other at the courthouse as hearings take place.

Have you ever went into anything thinking you were gonna do x but end up doing x and much more? Jerome Carter, better known as Kuddy or Rome, had x and much more in his life of ups and downs. Rome grew up in the projects of Baltimore, where there was always the question of, “will I live to see the next day?” It was not until he was seven when his single mother on welfare decided to move her five children out of the projects. At a young age Jerome found a passion in the arts. He first fell in love with art when his cousins came over and they’d all draw portraits of their favorite superheros. “Ever time I’d see these drawings I’d be in awe because it made me question how it was possible to bring something from a t.v screen onto a piece of paper” (Carter).

Do you wonder why we chose David Carson and Paula Scher? As we mentioned before, the reason of choosing these two artists is because of getting inspiration from them in Helvetica movie and also because their work share some similarities and differences that it’s interesting to know. In the movie David Carson mentioned that “he had no formal training and he did what make sense to him”. (Helvetica movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWE34Eg8On) As a contemporary designer he worked in a modern style and he experimented different stuff to find his own unique style. This seems interesting because among all the designers who had experience and studied years and years of design, David Carson became successful by just throwing random stuff on a page.
