The case was like any other, but a surprise witness played a big role in the case. Vivian Gordon, informed the investigators women were falsely arrested for prostitution by the New York Police Department, for doing this the police officers received extra money on their usual pay checks. After Vivian testified in court she was randomly found dead in a park in the Bronx, New York.

He installed a policy of rigid discipline, strengthened defenses, and encouraged farming with his order that all must work or face starvation. Smith had settlers dig the first well inside the fort (and Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists have found that well and the many unique artifacts it held when it became a trash pit). Smith ordered the repair of many buildings and the expansion of the fort into a five-sided structure, which archaeologists have also traced. Smith also led the first English explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and was almost killed by a ray on the first of the two expeditions. Smith’s strong leadership helped the colony survive and grow but also made him enemies within the fort. When he was sleeping in a boat in the river on night, Smith was badly injured from a gunpowder explosion. Smith went back to England to get treated in October 1609 and he never made it back to

The first person I chose was none other than the iconic, motivational speaker, activist herself, Madam CJ Walker. She empowered so many women of color to be independent and has paved the way for aspiring and current entrepreneurs , mainly women, who are looking to go into the cosmetology field. Walker, whose birth name was Sarah Breedlove, hadn’t always been the successful entrepreneur she was, and had to work extremely hard to obtain her multi-million legacy. She was born when slavery was still prevalent, and her parents, as well as older siblings, worked as slaves on a plantation in Louisiana(her home state). Luckily, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, freeing all slaves from their owners, Madam Walker was the first of her six siblings
“I want to live to help my race” Madam CJ Walker once said. She was a woman who would not let racial and gender barriers stop her from doing what she wanted. She was born into a family of former slaves, who did not have enough money to send any of the children to school. In 1887 her husband Moses was killed in a lynch mob, the reason was because he was black. So, Madam CJ Walker had to raise their 2-year-old daughter alone. At that time, it was hard to find a job to support her daughter, who she wanted to attend school and have a better life than she did. It was also very difficult to find a house because banks wound not loan money to African Americans so it was difficult to save up money to buy one. When she moved to St. Louis she washed clothes
Sarah Breedlove (Madam CJ Walker) did the unthinkable and became the first self-made female millionaires, during a time when women could not vote and African Americans were legally discriminated against in America. Madam CJ Walker survived countless boundaries which included being orphaned at seven, widowhood by age twenty, bad marriages, being a single parent, institutional racism, Jim Crow era, and low wages. How did Madam Walker achieve this incredible feat, facing such dire odds, and challenges in a time where she was thought of as less than a person? The following research in about the woman, the times, and her accomplishments during an era of hardship for all women especially for the African American women.
Born in January of 1580 in Lincolnshire, England, started out as an apprentice to a merchant before later joining the English army. During his military career he was captured during a movement in Hungary against the Turks. After being enslaved for a time he was sent to serve a mistress for awhile before being sent again on to the mistress's brother. In the hands of this man, Smith was required to do farm work and received harsh treatment. John, in turn of this harsh treatment, ended up killing the man he was working for and escaped to England a short time later (early 1600s).
When I was assigned this project I had a hard time choosing an artist. I really do not know much about influential artists so I was pretty lost. I thought I would chose someone everyone knew about like Picasso. But they did not meet the criteria for the artist we were supposed to chose and I would not have a lot to say about them besides the obvious that everyone knew. I realized that I did not have too much to say about them. I needed to write five pages about a artist. The artist I chose would have to be someone more interest , someone I could relate to someone's work who inspired or influenced me. I did a lot of research and I stumbled upon Kara Walker.
John Edward Robinson was born and raised in Cicero, Illinois, a blue-collar, Mafia-tinged area on the west edge of Chicago, in 1943. He was the third of five children, and grew up with two parents, an alcoholic father and a disciplinary mother. When he was 13, in the fall of 1957, his mother enrolled him in a five-year academy for Catholic boys in downtown Chicago. That same fall he made the rank of Eagle Scout and flew to London to lead a group of 120 Boy Scouts onto the stage of the Palladium theater. There, he appeared in a performance before Queen Elizabeth II and even met movie star Judy Garland. He was a teenage star briefly, all thanks to his mother, Alberta, who was his biggest supporter. This all went downhill when he went to college to study MRI

Edward Osborne Wilson, or E.O Wilson for short, is an American Biologist. He is well known for various important works in the Biology field. He also endures many nicknames such as “Father of Social Biology” (the social behavior in animals), “Father of Biodiversity” (variety of life in a habitat), but E.O Wilson is mainly known for his work in myrmecology, the study of ants. Before Wilson’s studies, the world knew substantially less about sociobiology, Biodiversity, how ants communicated, and many other theorems that Wilson experimented with.
Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher is noted as one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century. Described by Danish statistician, Anders Hald, as “a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science,” Fisher is most known for his contributions to experimental design. Though Fisher is mostly regarded as a statistician, he was mainly interested in evolution and genetics, especially eugenics, from an early age. However, he felt that he could contribute more to the field of biology as a statistician than he could as a biologist, which proved true. Some of his most famous contributions include Fisher’s exact test, Fisher’s Principle, F-distribution, etc.
