The book Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe, that is a gothic story. This is about a prince hiding from the plague. He closed the gate and party to forget about the plague. He bring his friends because they can be safe and run from the disease. Then later many people died when an uninvited person came to the party.

Thurgood Marshall is someone worth recognizing because of what he did for those with colored skin. He gave rights to African Americans making it illegal to have segregation in the U.S. He positively changed history for the U.S. He was the first African American to serve U.S. Solicitorr, appointed by by Lyndon B. Johnson. Thrugood was like Martin Luther King J.r, but he wasn't acknowledged or know by some. However he was a big help in achivment of racial equality.

In addition, Dr. King and his staffs were protesting against the racial segregation in Birmingham and then got arrested. When Dr. King was in jail, he wrote a letter to the Clergyman of Alabama addressing to his concerns towards racial injustice for African-Americans in Birmingham. Also, his letter talked about the reason he is in Birmingham? And introducing himself, which he's serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Then he explained to the Clergyman how the people that live in the United States are not considered as outsider agitators, including that how the African-Americans are not being treated equally by the American people, and have waited too long for their justice which never heard back.

Martin Luther King Jr is a well-known leader for his non-violent approach against segregation, discrimination, and for racial equality for African Americans during the fifties and nineteen sixties when leading the civil rights movement. King is also known for his two powerful works of writings that include his most famous nineteen-sixty three speech, “I Have A Dream”, and his letter that he written from a Birmingham Jail. He is also, out of all of the most powerful leaders in history, the only leader that isn’t a president of a country that has his own national holiday that celebrates is legacy across the United States of America. Originally born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929 the second child out of an older sister and younger brother to Alberta Williams King and Michael

Throughout the second semester, there has been the reoccurring theme which placed emphasis on the importance of understanding how the self is viewed and valued by the dominant social culture in which one exists, and how these standards of existence are determined by the physical attributes an individual has. One of the more prominent authors we discussed who sought to abolish the notion that physical appearance is connected to the worth of a human, is the man Fredrick Douglass. The narrative of Frederick Douglass is one which encapsulates many of the problems of perception and self. Douglass’s philosophical disposition is interesting because it challenges Beauvoir’s and Sartre’s belief that essence precedes existence. One of the readings which does a good job to

Hook: In the days of August 1963, Martin Luther king Jr did a march down a Washington D.C street that was very important to the united states to stop most legalized segregation. This was the point of discrimination that Martin Luther King Jr has faced.

Martin Luther King Jr. had a great impact on how society perceived segregation and civil rights. Because of his involvement in civil rights, he was able to have a voice that was heard and make a change. His dream was for people to not be treated because of their skin color but what is on the inside. He didn’t want people to discriminate against others because of their religion, race, and sex. MLK fought to end racism and give everyone civil rights. He did what he did because he attended a colored school and didn't understand why they had to be separated by their skin color. Other contributors of the civil rights movement consisted of Rosa Parks. In buses, they had to sit in the back of the bus, but one day she decided to sit in the front and when someone told her to give up her seat to a white man she refused and was arrested. That incident sparked the boycott of the Montgomery bus and they lost a lot of money due to all the people not paying for the bus and was eventually brought to the Supreme court.

“ Memory can be like a long, half lit tunnel,a tunnel where one is likely to encounter phantoms of a self , long concealed , no longer nourished with the force of consciousness, existing in a tortured state between life and death”

Body 1: During the Civil rights era the oppression of African American citizens was a very common thing. So, much so that seeing coloured citizens being abused, treated badly or being in a segregated area was just a normal part of everyday life. Most of this segregation came from the “Jim Crow” laws. These laws were ironically named after a group called the “Virginia Minstrels” which was a group of white men who smeared black cork on their face and played songs and danced. These laws effectively created two separate societies the African Americans and the Caucasians. This meant that blacks and whites could not ride together in the same rail car, sit in the same waiting room, sit in the same theatre, attend the same school or eat in the same

Without the history and events that happened in the past, America would be nowhere near it is today. There has been so much struggle in the country, especially regarding race. Segregation has been difficult to fix and has been a struggle for so many years. African Americans specifically had to deal with so much inequality and unfairness throughout their lives and are still dealing with it now. Back then, before the Civil Rights Movement, blacks lived in fear because of the violence and anger towards them. Besides the fact that blacks have been trying to fight for their own freedom and equality for so long, people think the Civil Rights Movement is over and was fully successful, but the fight still exists, just in a lesser manner. To focus on

Prior to the Civil Rights Movement, people of color did not have much say in society. Most African Americans acted as if they were deaf and blind puppets that had no reaction to anything that the White man said or did due to fear. Race was an important factor when determining an individual’s superiority. During the time of segregation in the United States people of color held positions in agriculture and domestic housework. Throughout the 1940s and 1960s sixty percent of female African Americans held jobs in domestic service (Thernstorm, 2016). Additionally, one out of seven men worked on farm, farming the land or harvesting crops (Thernstorm, 2016). Looking at the statistics many African Americans did not have the economic resources to the

The relentless noise of the busy streets, the cawing of crows and the chirping of the sparrows still rings in my ears when I reminisce about the environment where I spent the first 13 years of my life before moving to the United States. As an immigrant from Bangladesh, cultural differences from both countries, family, and the entire community has crucially contributed to the person I am today.

The Civil Rights Movement began on December first in 1955, and ended in 1968. There were many causes to this movement, and one extremely relevant document brought the end to segregation in the United States. During the Civil Rights Movement there were many significant people, and many impacting events that led to the United States that we live in today.

Although the American Civil Rights Movement actually started during the mid-to-late 19th century, the movement actually peaked in the mid 20th century. Billy Graham, a famous American Evangelist during the 20th century, was approached by the President of the United States after returning home from a missionary trip to India. The President invited Billy Graham to the White House to address the the topic of the Civil Rights Movement and the severe racial problems that existed in the United States. The religious beliefs of white protestant Americans during the Civil Rights Movement directly affected their responses to the movement, and strongly encouraged many to call for love, justice, and equality of both races. However, many people also rejected any propositions of integration during the Civil Rights Movement, and furthermore, many wanted to continue to keep the procedures of racial segregation in America.

Racial segregation is a practice in the south in which blacks couldn’t use the same facilities as whites. The civil rights movement was a movement to end racial segregation. Through non-violent protesting, the movement for racial equality broke through the barriers of racial segregation.
