As a result of Addams hard work and reputation, she was then drawn into a larger field of responsibility. She was one of the first members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). She was appointed to Chicago’s Board of Education, and in 1909 she became the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. “In 1911, she was elected vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.” Years later, in 1915, she accepted the chairmanship of the Women’s Peace Party. Addams also served as president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom until 1929. These advancements in her career led her to be very admired by her peers but also led to disapproval of her thoughts. When Addams began making speeches against World War I, she was no longer invited to speak to groups. “In 1931 Addams became the second woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This important award honored her work for peace. She received a peace medal and $16,480… She gave the money to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.”

On September 5, 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in front of delegates from 180 countries at the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. There, she was to deliver one of her greatest speeches on a topic that affects all of us; human rights, more notably, the rights of women and children. In her speech, Clinton persuaded those in attendance, utilizing ethos, pathos and logos, to understand the importance of women’s rights and to demand that they take steps to ensure that women receive the same liberties as men.

In the 1930’s it was rare for a black South African to attend college. But Mandela not only attended, he graduated, got a degree from law school, and set up a practice in Johannesburg which he hoped could support his small family. Yet apartheid was always a humiliation to him. When the Afrikaner, or Dutch South African, Nationalists came to power in the 1948 election, the segregation habits of the past three hundred years became law. Hoping for a brighter future, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) and became its first Youth Leader.

United Nations members, and fellow concerned citizens, the world must discuss with the consequences of the initiation of apartheid. Apartheid, the separation of races completely, has become a horrible era in South African history, and has killed many innocent victims. However, the blacks of South Africa brought death upon themselves. Therefore, please pledge your support to the whites of South Africa in an attempt to save as many lives as possible in as short a time as we have. One must acknowledge that

Across cultures and throughout history, women have experienced ongoing systemic oppression; and they have responded with progressive movements of protest and creative alternatives. Harriet Tubman in the fight against slavery: Fannie Lou Hamer for voting rights: Ella Baker and Mary White Ovington in the civil rights movement: Rosa Luxemburg in the German socialist movement: Winnie Mandela in the anti-apartheid movement: Puerto Rican independence leader and poet Lolita Lebron: and American Indian movement activists Anna Mae Aquash, Ingrid Washinawatok, and Winona LaDuke (Mink and Navarro). Women have pioneered in movements for labor rights, prison reform, reproductive rights and health, education, affordable housing, affirmative action and equal rights, human rights, and environmental safety. These women’s leadership styles span a range from soft to harsh, from wielding individual, hierarchical power to possessing a commitment to collectivism, and from identifying as “woman as caretaker of life” to woman as requiring and utilizing equal power to man. There is no one characteristic that applies to all women as social change leaders (Hurtado).

Wells were fighting for racial, social, and gender equality since slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation.

At this time in history women were not considered equal. Susan B Anthony is one of the most well known women’s suffragettes. One of her most popular speeches was the one titled, “After Being Convicted of Voting.” This speech was very effective, and bold. One might argue that her speech is not these things, but they are wrong.

She kept reminding people that if they did not have the ability to stand up for their interest, the concessions won would be withdrawn in the future. Indeed, her historical significance rests imperatively on the influence she portended on the youths who changed the nations in 1960s.

They are persons in your life that when you meet them, you wish to be with them forever, and that's what I used to feel with my big friend Fabiola Lizeth Bonilla. She was a really proud Honduran girl. Proud of their food and culture and lived there for 17 years, then she moved to the United States of America and got in love with the country. Fabiola was an amazing person, she didn't like to see someone sad, and if I'm not wrong, her favorite hobby was to make all her friends happy.

I have always thought that Nelson Mandela has been one of the most important people in history. I find it very fascinating that one man could end the Apartheid and that is why I want to find out more about this. South Africa is a country with a past of enforced racism and separation of its multi-racial community. The White Europeans invaded South Africa and started a political system known as 'Apartheid' (meaning 'apartness').

I have chosen to investigate how the Apartheid affected people’s lives, and also how and why the Apartheid system rose and fell in South Africa.
