Martha Jean Thesis

February of every year is known as National Black History Month. There are many African American people who made a great impact on all African-Americans today. In honor of this month, though, I have chosen to write about Marian Anderson. Marian Anderson was a singer who had made a great impact on many of the black singers in the past. She was one of the first female African-American to perform with the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1955. Some of Marian’s last words to the public were “I have a great belief in the future of my people and my country.”

The Glass Castle, a memoir by Jeannette Walls, tells the story of Jeannette's upbringing and her road to adulthood. Jeannette, and her siblings, were raised by dysfunctional, poor, and sometimes homeless parents, Rose Mary and Rex Walls. The Walls children were pretty much abandoned by their parents and in some cases they were forced into making their own money, or stealing food just so they would not starve. Rose Mary and Rex Walls allowed the children to do anything they wanted, whenever they wanted to do it, but that did not stop Jeannette from being successful. She recognized that she did not want to live her life the same way her parents have lived their lives. In The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls believes that sometimes people are actually

Would the advances of today be up to such standards without the writings of history? Diary’s and books show the way of life along with what did and did not work. Women such as Martha Ballard and Mary Jemison gave an insight into their life that would have not been accessible to the world we know.

Walking into a silent courtroom, it is quiet. All you can hear is the footsteps you are making as you approach the jury to do an opening statement. You feel anxious and excited all at the same time, because at the beginning of your career, you were the jury. This is what Kellie Howell experiences everyday as she walks into a courtroom. Kellie Howell started this profession with intentions of helping people when nobody else will. Although there are many moments of excitement, there are also difficulties. This is what makes Kellie continue to push forward in this field. Kellie Howell, a defense attorney of Del City, Oklahoma, was motivated to pursue this career because she felt it was necessary to represent others in their darkest hour.

While filling out a questionnaire like the Census it is solely up to the individual to decide the race they considered themselves to be in. Race can have many different meanings while trying to categorize a person. As we have learned in the past weeks, there are many aspects that can be considered while defining someone’s race. A few examples would be color, culture, family history and place of origin. Because of the flexibility in defining race, different ethnicities focus more on certain aspects. This causes a discontinuity while defining race. This leads to the question brought up by Julie Dowling in her writing.

Segregation. Denial of service. Cruel comments. Just a few of the tame acts to name that African Americans dealt with on a daily basis. Many have risen up and fought for justice, desperately looking for a lifestyle of equality. Though, one truly stood out and screamed for freedom and equality. Mary Jane McLeod Bethune, an African American born into slavery who was determined to become educated. To get an education while being of African descent was no easy task; she longed for others like her to have a learning environment that remained unrestricted to them. Mary’s determination blossomed into something much greater from there – the determination to educate others. She started a private school for African American students in Daytona Beach,

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel is my inspiration because she was, and still is, a major fashion and life inspiration, not only due to her success, but more due to her influential and revolutionary style.

Chanel genuinely believed women should be able to dress comfortably in pants and suits, like men. As she became more recognizable and made a greater appearance at the face of fashion, the amount of women wearing newly crafted unisex garments (pants and suits) grew exponentially. due to Chanel, women of all countries and cultures do not have to wear uncomfortable layers of clothes, underclothes and padding, but simply wear comfortable
