Jasmine Aguilar: Kansas City In The Norfolk Southern

African American Higher Education During the year of 1998 the Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky Oral History project began documenting the struggle to end legal segregation in Kentucky between the years of 1930 and 1975. This documentary provided an understanding of the history of the civil rights movement in Kentucky. “Living the Story: The Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky” is consisted of personal experiences of fifteen Kentuckians.

In addition to the objectives stated above, management wished to evaluate an alternate mode and methods of transportation. The company could stop the use of the freezer cars for delivery up to Butte, Montana, and use trucking instead. The delivery to the retail outlets would also continue to be done by motor carrier. It was decided that if any changeover is economical for the company and the new system (if any at all) works well for Tender Most in 2011, in subsequent years, similar feasibility exercises could be carried out for other products. The cost for common-carriage TL transportation was estimated to be $12.60 per cwt. from Kentucky to Butte, MT (minimum load of 30,000 lbs.). The lead time for this option is 3 days with a standard deviation of ½ day.

the two women came, much like the growth the Unites States has made in bringing about racial equality, they were never able to cross that line and fully accept one another.

“Bleeding Kansas” had many senseless deaths and tragedies caused by the fight for slavery to either become a part of or become eradicated from the new state, Kansas. David Atchison was a major proslavery advocate who believed that slavery needed to be expanded because of its intrinsic value in the culture and economy of the South (Hollitz 210). Sara Robinson, on the other hand, believed that slavery was giving the South unfair political power while simultaneously giving them an economic power that was outdated and inhibiting to the future of the United States (213). Without ever meeting, these two influential figures went head to head in the issue of slavery and greatly influenced both of their parties. Robinson would eventually come out with the victory along with her “free soilers” group and would blaze a trail for many more to challenge the institution of slavery. Atchison would come to lose his battle and a portion of his great reputation and become known as the hell-raiser for his known and unknown relations with the violence during “Bleeding Kansas.” The events in Kansas seemed to bring up many issues that would come to change the face of the United States forever.

I remember that day as if it was like yesterday, it was a warm day, the sun shining, and it was the perfect weather for us to play in. The important day for the Iowa-Grant Panther Softball 5th and 6th grade team, it was our championship game.

Georgia. She had also went to a baseball camp there. Other teams showed great interest in her, the Memphis Chicks offered to trade their two outfielders for her, but were declined, because they considered her too valuable.

industry enjoyed limited government control. As a result different companies had different rail lines and different prices. When America joined the Great War, the Federal Government took complete control of the railroads. The government standardized the industry by setting the size of track , the size of trains and the price paid for shipping. The

It was a short drive to the hotel, and the scenery was pretty cool, but I was really waiting for arrival time. I couldn't wait to see the hotel, and I had no clue what to expect. I eyes drifted out the window at all the tall trees on the hilly landscape. The trees filled the hill, and there was on sight of the forest floor. Birds of all sizes flew in and out of the forest, keeping a person looking at them and their home forever. But then the landscape began to change.

On June 22, 1911 the land for the railroad was deeded to Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway Company. Dave Haldman ran the train depot while he sold sandwiches, chili and stew from buckets, and chicken dinners. His wife would also sell coffee when the train stopped. The train would make stops at 12:00 going south and around 3:00 going back north.

I grew up in a city named Colorado City, TX – the city is located in Central West Texas. I had a really good friend, that I became best friends with, named Daniel. We went riding our bikes everywhere around this little town, scraping our knees on concrete and crashing our bikes on practically everything (since there was practically nothing to do in this town – this was before the 3M Palace Theatre was reopened).

Wedow Versus Kansas City, Missouri Introduction Women have been discriminated against throughout the history of the United States. Women were typically associated with being “mothers” and having to take care of the children along with other so called home “duties.” They were not allowed to vote until fairly recently. Astonishingly, women in the United States were not allowed to have their own bank account before 1974. There is no reasonable excuse for such restrictions, except to keep women under the control of men. Altogether, the United States’ has a history of discriminating against women. Women have historically been treated as second class citizens, especially in the workplace, which kept them from doing certain jobs that were meant for men. The reality is that women have proven more than capable of doing labor intensive work. World War II proved that women were more than capable of replacing men. Women’s rights in the United States have definitely been improved, but they continue to be discriminated against in the workplace.

This was it. The Aviano Softball team of 2015 has worked so hard during the season and were on their way to the championship game. I along was part of the team for the past three years, and I’ve seen how we have grown from underdogs to the next powerhouse of Division II. During the first day, we mercy ruled AFNORTH and Ansbach. The second day arrived to determine where we would be in the semifinals, and we won against Hohenfels. The next morning was competitive; the final game was nerve wracking but it was all worth it in the end.

Over the last several decades Kansas City leaders have taken great pride in their efforts to build a world class city. In fact, Kansas City residents passed an $800 million general obligation bond referendum to address issues of deferred maintenance and capital improvements. Mayor Sly James celebrated the passage of this referendum by stating: “These are the things to which a world-class city commits”. Kansas City’s commitment to similar investments has been illustrious, but the beneficiaries were few. Those that have benefited most are corporations and domestic travelers. Kansas City's revitalization investments are costly for all residents, whether rich or poor. This era of ongoing investment began in 1989 with the ‘Clever Plan’ to redevelop
