Speech On The Eureka Stockade

One of the key individuals involved, the leader of the miners during the stockade, was Peter Lalor. Peter Lalor had a leading role in the Eureka stockade. He was the only crook to make it to parliament. Lalor stepped in to help the miners protest against gold licences and the fees. Peter Lalor got a seat in parliament, claimed the right to vote and got miners’ licenses cheaper. A great quote from Peter Lalor is "And with a burning feeling of an injured man I mounted the

The Eureka Stockade, the great triumph of our nation, the beginning of democracy. Was it really a triumph though? Can it be argued that it was instead a tragedy? From who’s point of view is it from? The diggers? The officers? The women? Perhaps people like Rede or Hotham. Most importantly though, now. From these views it adds up, it is neither and it both.

The Iowa State Fair Queen is, in my opinion, one of the most influential women for the State of Iowa. She serves her state proudly and represents the youth in a way nobody else can! The State Fair Queen is the heart and soul of Iowa, and proves to be an outstanding role model for the youth and all communities. By being selected as my county’s Fair Queen, I am beyond grateful to be able to be in the running for the 2015 State Fair Queen. I adore being there for others and lending my hands wherever I go. I am constantly on the go as traveling is a love of mine, as well as public speaking. In the future, I plan on going into Communications with the intentions to help others and being someone they see as someone to go to. The Iowa State Fair is a

The Gold rush that took place in Ballarat, Victoria brought with it much conflict. The Eureka stockade was a battle between the government and the troops that took place in 1854. Although the battle took place on December 3rd, the events that led to it, happened during that year. The outrage first started when Governor Hotham came to power and set up weekly licence checks and increased the price of licences in order to make money for himself and relieve the debt of the colony. Over months the licence checks became more frequent and the police became brutal in order to collect owed fees. On October 7th 1854 digger James Scobie was murdered and his suspected murderer James Bentley was acquitted due to his friendship with the judge. This made the miners angrier, and on 17th October 10,000 diggers got together and burnt down the Eureka hotel in protest. With no action from government authorities being taken to improve the conditions, the miners formed the Ballarat Reform league at Bakery Hill. It was here on November 11th that the miners first developed the rights and demands that they would fight for. On

The Victorian gold rush in 1851 attracted many people from all over the world. Peter Lalor was one of them. He arrived in 1852 from Ireland, where he was a well-known freedom fighter. Peter was well educated and was used to leading men. He was straight talking, strong minded and courageous. He was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in. When the governor introduced expensive gold licenses, the miners really began to struggle. They took their grievances to the gold commissioner, but he did not want to hear about their problems. Instead, the commissioner sent

“The Atlanta Exposition Speech” by Booker T. Washington, “The Talented Tenth” but W.E.B. DuBois, and “The Negro’s Place in American Life at the Present Day” by T. Thomas Fortune were written during the end of the nineteenth century when African Americans were faced with great challenges on a range of different levels. These documents are very like one another considering they are all addressing the same issues, but I also feel like each of them are unique from one another because of the person who wrote them. Washington focuses more on an industrial education so the blacks can go to school. He has the whites to believe that it will also affect them and make things better for them at the time and that they will

The Civil Rights Movement has had many outstanding individuals who brought the movement into the forefront of American society at times. One of these individuals was Bayard Rustin. Bayard Rustin was a co- founder of the Congress of Racial Equality in 1942 and was a peace activist. Being a close associate of Martine Luther King, many of his beliefs about Civil Rights were similar to Dr. King’s. His speech " From Protest to Politics: The Future of the Civil Rights Movement", originally printed in Commentary, is significant because it advocates for a new approach to the civil right movement that demands economic, political and social aspects be viewed in ways not previously done, which made it politically controversial and rejected by many for various reasons.

The speech “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July?” was spoken, by Frederick Douglas, to the supporters and abolitionists at the Rochester Ladies Anti-Slavery Society of Fourth of July. In his speech Frederick Douglas speaks heavily on the subject of abolitioning slavery. Frederick Douglas provides comparisons and analogies, appeals to the audience 's logic, and appeals to the audience’s emotion in order to convince the audience to more vigorously fight for the abolition of slavery.

“Hello, unfortunately, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan cannot come to the phone right now. As lovers of travel and meeting others, one can probably find them somewhere in Europe or maybe the United States. Most likely, Helen probably has some sort of exciting meeting with the Queen of England, Alexander Graham Bell, or Clara Barton. Anyway, please leave a name and number after the beep. Also, if the person on the other end possesses the name of “Mark Twain”, please no

I thought you might be in the area for Andrew's festival. I'll be in Columbus on Sunday the 28th.

He was the youngest of eleven children; Peter Lalor arrived in the goldfields in 1853. Peter Lalor was born on the 5th of February 1889. The governor didn’t let the miners have their own rights so Peter Lalor helped them fight for their rights. They put up a new flag called the Southern Cross and made the Eureka Stockade. Once the flag was put up, Peter Lalor knelt down on one knee. Took his hat off his head and said: “We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other, and fight to defend out rights and liberties.”

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

Magallanes is one of the reasons why the city of Makati is constantly on the move.
