March 25, 1931, nine men hopped on to a freight train of no return (Uschan 10). Unjust, prejudice, and racist the Scottsboro Trials, were definitely not just another ordinary case. The Scottsboro Trials changed how America viewed segregation. The nine young men, who hopped onto that train that day, were innocent and harmless. The Scottsboro Trials revealed the unjust treatment that African Americans faced outside of the Harlem Renaissance and changed views on segregation.

This is not just an architectural design and the fashion, but because of the fact that the developers know that the land is being swallowed by the sea. More and more houses, hotels, shops and restaurants have decks and some piers that lead into and over the water. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection even has courses for those in construction to acknowledge the erosion and increase the proper design, construction and maintenance of erosion and sediment control. The beaches, whether sandy or rocky are the buffers that keep the sea at bay from the land behind enemy lines. They are nature’s way of saving all the people and their livelihoods from being swept away into the deep blue yonder. When waves crash into the beach it carries sediment with it and deposits such sediment. The alternative is that when a wave recedes back into the ocean it carries that sediment back to sea. This is usually done at an unequal rate, and leads to coastal erosion. In fact, coastal erosion is one of the reasons we have so many beautiful beaches around the world due to their unique shape. Long shore currents move water in a parallel direction of the shoreline, carrying the sand with it. But as we continue to build piers, docks, sea walls, and jetties

It took nearly 40 years to win the fight to protect these ancient and pristine coral reefs islands. By the 1950s, Florida tourism was booming, and property values were skyrocketing. They had a different plan for the area: a national park that would preserve and protect the islands, the bay to the west and the reefs to the east.Herbert W. Hoover, Jr., the vacuum cleaner magnate, famously gave Washington legislators blimp rides around the area, in hopes that once people saw how beautiful the area was, they too would want to preserve it.

When Dred Scott v. Sandford was decided in 1857, it made an enormous impact on the United States. It riled up both pro- and anti-slavery Americans. It angered many Americans in an extreme example of judicial activism. Some say it made the Civil War inevitable. By the time the dust had settled and the 13th and 14th Amendments reversed the Court’s decision, Dred Scott could be considered one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time. And yet, although the case was egregiously wrong, it still can be considered a “great case”.

North Carolina went through a great deal of religious problems, because there were so many different religions coming into play. During the beginning of their religious controversy, the Anglican Church was known as the original church, as well as the only one that would be funded by the government.

There will always be controversy over everything. Someone will always want to fight against an opinion or a choice made. This has never been expressed more through the case of Dred Scott versus Sanford. The choice of said case, still today, is considered one of the worst decisions ever made by the United States Supreme court. The case decided that Dred Scott was not able to sue in a United States Court and that Congress does not have the power to declare certain states free or slave states.

For my first civics project, I took advantage of the online opportunity and chose to watch an argument of the Florida Supreme Court v. Dale Norman. This particular case was taken to the supreme court to decided whether Mr. Norman was protected under the constitution for carrying an open weapon (non concealed) in Florida. In Florida it is illegal to carry an open weapon in public but he claimed that due to the second amendment, it was his constitutional right. In the end, the Supreme Court decided that Florida's law for concealment does not violate the constitution because the right and the ability to defend yourself with a firearm does not directly have anything to do with having the weapon concealed or open.

You’re tucking your hood into your wetsuit, and a security officer tells you can no longer enter the water at this point, because it is a private beach. Is this a forthcoming reality? Unfortunately, it may become a reality if the California Coastal Commission (CCC) fails to fight development the way it has in the past. Recently, Charles Lester, a longtime advocate against development and historic guardian of the California coastline was fired from his position as the Executive Director at the CCC, on grounds that he was not doing a good job of balancing development needs with coastal preservation. Prior to his dismissal, the social media newsfeeds of surfers and ocean lovers alike was inundated with the news. Thousands made the pilgrimage to Morro Bay, to support Lester. Despite efforts, Lester was fired and the news faded—the coast could now become developed in areas where it never was before.
