As the state elections of 1898 approached, the Fusion party was not thriving as well as it had been, when preparing for the last election. The Democratic party was preparing to defeat the Republicans in the election and were being led by Furnifold Simmons, the party chairman. He did a great deal of organizing and campaigning in an attempt to have Democrats regain power over the city. Simmons worked hard to prevent “negro denomination”, a fear that many white segregationists had at the time, they worried that if African Americans gained too much power in government, eventually they would take over. In reality, African Americans only wanted a say in how they were governed and wanted to be treated equally under the law. To conquer this fear that many white Democrats possessed, they planned to take over the government and run any influential African Americans out of town, to somewhere that they would no longer influence and encourage people to stand up for equal

Many critics classify the 1960’s as the decade of urban uprising and political shifts in the United States. Controversy surrounded these changes whether they were good or bad for the nation and leaving many Americans questioning the power of urban and political movements. In the excerpt “Triumph of the Left: Sixties Revolution and The Revolution in Manners” Kenneth Cmiel from the University of Iowa shows how the era of the sixties altered and affected the morals of many Americans when they encountered discrimination, hatred, and inequality. Along with that, Dan T. Carter carefully analyzes the political outcomes of the Presidential campaign of the 1960’s and it’s victory in the excerpt “Triumph of the Right: George Wallace, Richard Nixon, and the Critique of Federal Activism.” While many still argue that both of the tumultuous decade’s social movements harmed the way the United Sates functions today, it also evidently shows to be victorious due to its liberal changes that alters the ways Americans live and perform then and now. Both Cmiel and Carter support their positions with evidence that demonstrates that both urban uprising and political shifts successfully depart the nation from falling into conservative circumstances. Not only do both triumphs succeed, but they also open up doors for economic and political opportunities in the United States.

In the empirical article, “Black Philly after the Philadelphia Negro,” Marcus Anthony Hunter examines the once populated Seventh Ward and the effects that political neglect and racial barriers had on this primarily black area, which ultimately led to its urban decay. Similarly, in recent years, we see this occurring in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. However, we notice how the neglect towards Vesterbro stems from other factors such as immigration, crime, and a poor economy. Hunter examined the archives of the Seventh Ward, specifically after W.E.B. Du Bois’ initial study of the Seventh Ward. From the 1920s through the 1940s, Hunter found that the poor living conditions did not improve. Instead, they were constant, suggesting that Republican politicians neglected this black area. “This period also offers a historical window into the shifting allegiances of black Americans, and their retreat from the Republican Party and embrace of the Democratic Party” (Hunter). Hunter claimed that the shift in

The topic of race, redistricting, and minority representation in Congress has emerged as one of the most salient issues in contemporary political thought. The creation of so‑called majority minority districts has been attacked as unfair and racially polarizing by some observers and ultimately struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The study of race in relation to American politics and institutions, and, in particular, to the institution of Congress, has produced a wealth of research and literature in recent years. This scope of budding research ranges from legislative activity and Congressional voting to the electoral process and campaigning. This study examines the effects of

It has been five months since you came to visit me in my country. It is almost the ending of the Revolutionary War or as I hope it is. This war has been torture for my country. I have been remembering that time as it was yesterday when you were questioning me in my living room about my country’s great leader; George Washington; and this terrible war he is fighting in. Even though this war has been horrifying, I believe we will have victory against the British.

George Washington, the first president of the United States stated in his farewell address in 1796 about the dangers of division due to “geographical discriminations” such as political parties. This warning would completely be disregarded, because by the 1790s political parties had been formed. In fact, the first election after he left office in 1796, was the first openly partisan election. Americans had been divided into two different parties with completely opposing ideologies.

George Washington warned against forming political parties. Although now American politics are dominated by a two-party system, and many people feel that the two parties are incapable of working together.

This essay is about the Illinois Mayoral Race 2017, particularly the race on Aurora. This was a hotly contested race among the candidates in the different counties and cities in the country. Most candidates were running independent, but the two political parties – Democrats and Republican – were also represented. The specific office that I am studying is the post of the mayor in Aurora, Illinois. The term of the mayor will start on May 01, 2017 and will end on May 01, 2021. The mayoral race is a contest between candidates of distinct ethnic origins – African American, Filipino, and Hispanic. This is considered the first in Aurora history (Crosby).

The black people’s political power was deprived by the racial institutions-racial gerrymandering deprivation. It is announced that “the court prohibited a then-common practice among some states of spreading minorities across voting districts, leaving them too few in number in any given district to elect their preferred candidates. The practice became known as "racial gerrymandering.””(Kim Soffen 438). The spreading of minorities weakened their rights to attend election. When the government separated minorities region to the majority group nearby, the minorities liked African American group has less chance to be elected in their new district. It also stated that “Typically the goal in [packing minorities into a district] is not to reduce minority

Washington won the Mayoral Election with a 52% vote, but not everyone within the Democratic Party was satisfied with his victory, as “he would have to survive the Council War”. Alderman Tim Evans, a young African American leader, whom Washington had chosen to become first a floor leader and then elected to be the head of the Finance Committee. Alderman David Orr, a young leader of independents, rose to fame because he knew how to play the system once in. At the beginning of his administration, Washington established a set of recommendations from his “transition team” that would help him achieve his programs. First, it was the introduction of an executive order, first one in Chicago’s history, which provided citizens freedom of information; second, the Mayor suggested the elimination of patronage jobs through the “Shakman

Racial segregation has had a long history in Chicago. While separation by nationality had always been apparent in the city, with neighborhoods typically being dominated by a certain ethnicity, no group of Chicagoans experienced the degree of segregation that African Americans faced in everything from the housing districts to public services. Forced to live only in designated areas by de facto segregation, redlining, and other tactics, they had limited chances to escape the cycle of danger and discrimination of the city. Confined to only their deteriorating neighborhoods,they had little chance.

Prior to the 1960s, rarely was there black representation in Congress. Putting aside for a moment the irony of this in a country that declared its independence under the banner of “no taxation with representation,” this posed a serious issue for the black community.

In “The minority-race planner in the quest for a just city,” June Thomas additionally tests the issue of racial assorted qualities against identified with thoughts regarding the "just city" to then again depict race as tolerating an obliging capacity in transformative arranging. This case study is review in which Thomas introduced an example of African American organizers with inside and out inquiries to investigate how interconnections between their racial status and arranging practice may encourage the objective of the "just city."
