Melba's Choice Analysis

In a CNN article, a girl named Abigail Noel Fisher files a lawsuit against the University of Texas after being rejected her application into the university. She claims that this being a kind of discrimination and that we should have diversity in colleges. The Supreme Court also agrees what she files for presents a race issue. Abigail participated in multiple extra circular activates and volunteer work and scored the top 80% of her class so she should be in U.T. Abigail dreamt and compassionate about this since she was in second grade and wanted to go to the college because to continue a tradition in her family and friends which seems understandable. Although she participated in many activates, she showed to be under the top 10% which U.T accepts

During the Holocaust many Jews were treated like animals. The soldiers would bring them to the camps and immediately

The only reason she attended Horace Mann High School was because of her skin color. Race doesn’t matter. I believe that both races should be able to attend the same school. On the day of their first attempt of entering Central High an angry mob shouted, “‘Two, four, six, eight, we ain’t gonna interrogate” (35). The mob didn’t want the Little Rock Nine to enter the high school based on their skin color. They didn’t even know what the nine were like. They judged people who were different than them. Anyone who wasn’t one of them, they didn’t like. I think that both races are very alike, the only difference is their skin color. Therefore I feel that Melba was right to attend Central

Everyone has turning points in life that can change them completely and sometimes it changes many others with them. Melba, Jackie, and Feng Ru changed their countries because they had a turning point in life and those turning points that they had are found from the resources” I Never Had It Made” by Jackie Robinson, “ The Father Of Chinese Aviation” by Rebecca Maksel, and “ Warriors Don’t Cry “ by Melba Pattillo Beals. Melba, Jackie, and Feng Ru all faced challenges but those challenges led them to a greater good that changed their countries. Jackie Robinson changed the way that people look at him and his race because he was a great ballplayer ,even though he was the first African American to play in the major league baseball. Jackie Robinson

Emotional strength shows throughout Melba Patillio Beals search for freedom and equality. While Beals comes home one day screaming out,"I'll never go back to Central!"Later on in the story, Beals still goes to Central High School. Beals still go back even after what happens to her at the school, she doesn't want to give the students satisfaction.If she didn't go back, the students would have thought that they have finally driven her out. Believing that they can control anyone by threatening them. Her emotional strength here keeps her going even if it's not strong enough yet, she still goes knowing what is ahead. Her social life is taken away from her, because of Central High and that's one of the reasons she doesn’t want to go back. Students and even teachers look at her in a hateful way so she feels that she can’t

One of the ways the Nazis dehumanize the Jews is packing them into cattle cars. “Lying down was out of the question, and we were only able to sit by deciding to take turns. There was very little air” (Wiesel 15). The Nazis do not care about the Jews because they force the Jews into miniscule

The Plessy decision affect the daily lives of both African Americans and the whites. Because of the Jim Crow laws, African Americans had an extremely difficult time finding jobs and housing. It was hard for them to gain any kind of economic success in the North and South. They also could not receive any good education because their schools were not nearly as advanced as white schools. Oppositely, whites had very easy times getting well paying jobs and affording big houses. They continued to grow in economic success while African Americans were not given the chance. African Americans even had curfews in some states where they could not be seen outside after a certain

She goes knowing the risk that she is being put into, but continues to go back. It was said, ”Three years later, when Grandma discovered I would be the first black to attend Central High School, she said the nightmare that had surrounded my birth was proof positive that destiny had assigned me a special task (Beals page 1).” Melba knows risk to go to Central High but decides to go because it’s her destiny. She goes through many conflicts at Central High but still manages to go back even with the odds are not in her favor. Melba is a very brave girl, she knew the outcome could be bad but did it

In the mid 1930s heading into the the mid 1940s, The Nazis created harsh living conditions for Jews living in Europe. The Nazis, lead by Adolf Hitler, were an right wing group that took control of Germany and eventually expanded to the other European countries around them including Poland and Austria. Using the Nuremberg laws in 1935, the Nazis began removing Jewish people from everyday society. Four years later in 1939, Jews were forced to live in Ghettos that were overcrowded and barely maintained. Not long after in 1945, The “final solution” was implemented. Innocent Jewish men, women and children were shipped in train cars to Concentration camps. The conditions in these train cars were brutal. Passengers would go days without water, food

She claimed that the reason for this was because of the affirmative action policy that the university had in place. The case gained traction and was taken to the Supreme Court. This also sparked up a national conversation about affirmative action throughout the nation. An article in the New York Times had quotes from some of the Justices stating that it is necessary to have affirmative action that way the classroom can stay diversified (Liptak

This showed that segregation was slowly fading. One of the most important systems in society is the education system. So when this changed so did many other things. African Americans were given more opportunities for jobs and careers. This gave them the chance to become just as important or “big” as white people. “Negroes do not wish to be branded as inferiors by being segregated, and they want to walk the earth as human beings with dignity” (The Atlantic). The process of integration has started to bring equality and is closer to making it so that the black man is not looked down upon by the white

There are many controversial decisions that were made in the last 100 years in American history. One of the most important decisions made in my opinion was the decision to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. In today's world, it would sound crazy to tell someone that they are not equal to the rest of society. Luckily, people today don't have to deal with laws that take away their individual rights and cause discrimination against them. African Americans were segregated in all aspects of society, such as going to segregated school districts and having segregated public places away from Caucasian people.Without the hundreds of boycotts, marches, protests and federal government enforcement to end racial inequality among people, we would not have the Civil Rights Act of 1964 today that allows African Americans the right to vote, citizenship, education equality, and the ability to share public places. Many people agreed on this becoming law, and others refused.

The history of civil rights for the black race has gotten much better, but there’s still quite a few issues they have to deal with. Life for African Americans in Texas is better than it was pre civil war. Although things have become tremendously better for them, there are still some changes that need to be made

in many lives.There lives were turned upside down in matter of days.They thought they lost some much ,but they came out to gain good education and lots of respect. Without these brave African Americans would our journey to end segregation have started in Arkansas?

Nazi’s even suspected you were Jewish then they would send you away to work or to
