Lawren Harris Research Paper

The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

“Children deprived of words become school dropouts, dropouts deprived of hope behave delinquently. Amateur censors blame delinquency on reading immoral books and magazines, when in fact, the inability to read anything is the basic trouble.” (Peter S. Jennison) Censorship could easily be one of the biggest controversies around the world today. The book “Harris and Me” by Gary Paulsen, about a boy who stays with his distant cousin Harris on the family farm because his parents are a bunch of “puke drunks.” Spends the summer fighting “commie japs”, hunting mice, and tussling with the rooster Ernie. This book was banned by the ALA for nothing more than profanity. If that’s even the right term, especially for today in our society. This book was taught in my sixth grade class and I have adored it ever since, but I was baffled to find out it

Political advocacy organizations have historically played a big part in securing political rights for minority groups in Western Liberal Democracies. Whether we look to the now infamous Boston Tea Party to the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, we observe the importance of political organizations in their quest to ensure equitable rights for the people whom they represent. In context of the early twentieth century, the most prominent group to represent African-American’s in the United States was that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP, as it is more commonly called, was founded on February 12, 1909 by a mixed group of individuals including but not limited to Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. DuBois and Archibald Grimké with the goal of creating a civil rights organization that would help assist in organizing for civil rights for blacks. One of its most prominent members, Charles Hamilton Houston, who became a part of the organization around the mid-twentieth century, changed the trajectory of the organization for years to come. Hence this essay

Terrill Thomas died a little over a year ago on April 24th, 2016 at a Milwaukee County Jail. Thomas passed away because of dehydration which was brought on by his water supply in his cell being cut off. Thomas was held in solitary confinement for a week after he was arrested for reckless endangerment and felony firearms violations. Along with criminal charges Thomas was bipolar which was left untreated and ignored by staff. Bipolar disorder prevents people from correctly showing their emotions or conveying what they need (Carpenter 2017). According to other inmates Thomas begged for water everyday and was ignored by every correctional officer. On the other hand the correctional officers claim Thomas said nothing to them. The lieutenant, Kashka Meadors says her directions were misinterpreted. The water supply for the toilet was just supposed to be shut off because Thomas kept flooding it. Whether or not directions were misinterpreted, it goes against standard operating procedure (Carpenter 2017). Thomas’s death was ruled a homicide but was brought up almost a year later because after the trial there more questions than answers. Since Thomas has passed there have been more deaths including three other people and even an infant. Prosecutors are not sure who they want to charge with the homicide of Terrill Thomas but they want answers.
