In a quest for a sense of belonging and success in life as well as a need for survival and money from a steady job, Richard attempts to conform to the social rules of those around him and the expectations of how he must behave like a second-class citizen. To feel like a part of the community and to please his family in hopes of improving his home life, Richard begins to attend a Protestant church. He consents to become a member of the church and is baptized, but he does so to please his mother and because his need for association and acceptance with a group is immense. After the church service that night, Richard reflects, “I had not felt anything except a sullen anger and a crushing sense of shame. Yet I was somehow glad that I had got it over with; no barriers now stood between me and the community”. In addition to these expectations from his family and the black community he associated with,

Roosevelt addressed a crowd of 30,000 people in Osawatomie on August 31, 1910. (La Forte, 1966, p.187). He spoke outside after the John Brown memorial dedication (Hennessy, 1910). When he arrived, the audience greeted him with chants of “Hello, Teddy!” and enthusiastically cheered the speech at its conclusion (La Forte, 1996, p.196). Roosevelt stood on a kitchen table in front of the crowd and spoke for one and a half hours (La Forte, 1996, p. 196). Kansas’ governor, Walter Stubbs, joined Roosevelt on the table after the speech and declared, “We have just heard one of the greatest pronouncements for human welfare ever made. This is one of the big moments in the history of the United States!" (La Forte, 1996, p. 197) Since there

In 1921 at the age of thirty-nine years old Franklin Delano Roosevelt contracted polio after he swam in the water at a Boy Scout Camp. Shortly afterwards, George Foster Peabody told the New York Governor Roosevelt a story about a young polio victim who was cured by swimming in the year round 88 degree Fahrenheit water at Warm Springs, Georgia (Minchew, 2003). President Roosevelt visited Warm Springs forty-one times, first arriving in 1924, and he continued to visit at least once a year during his presidency. He enjoyed staying at Warm Springs so much, that in 1926 Roosevelt decided to purchase the property from George Foster Peabody. In 1927 he turned the property into the Warm Springs Foundation to help find a treatment for polio and invited many in the community to come swim with him in the pools at the foundation. The Little White House was built in 1932 for President Roosevelt so that he could visit the area more frequently and escape from his presidential duties. The importance of the Little White House was that American citizens in the rural areas of Georgia were able to rally around the new president during the Great Depression as he was seen by the community as a friend rather than a politician.

On August 6, Lewinsky appeared before the grand jury to begin her testimony, and on August 17 President Clinton testified. Contrary to his testimony in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case, President Clinton acknowledged to prosecutors from the office of the independent counsel that he had had an extramarital affair with Ms. Lewinsky. In four hours of closed-door testimony, conducted in the Map Room of the White House, Clinton spoke live via closed-circuit television to a grand jury in a nearby federal courthouse. He was the first sitting president ever to testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct. That evening, President Clinton also gave a four-minute televised address to the nation in which he admitted he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky. In the brief speech, which was wrought with legalisms, the word “sex” was never spoken, and the word “regret” was used only in reference to his admission that he misled the public and his family.

Richard Nixon’s six year stint in the White House is and was reviewed as a pivotal and influential time period in various aspects of American infrastructure. Nixon had come into office after the consistent twenty year dominance of presidential politics by a left-winged Democratic coalition. America coming out of conflicts across the globe was universally known as a global police force which was notorious for large-scale pre 21st century military conflict. When Nixon resigned, (The first United States president to do so) a conservative Republican regime was born that would in turn dominate the next twenty years of presidential politics. The post-Nixon Republican Party was known for delivering aid to our allies across the globe, and staying

The White House is the presidents private home. Construction begin in 1792. Our first president picks the location and watches as it was built. But he never lives in the White House. In 1800, President John Adams and his wife moved in. They were the first residents. When they moved in, only six rooms were finished. Since then the White House has had many changes. The inside was rebuilt after a fire in 1814. Another fire damaged the White House in 1929. Each President has made his own changes too. Today the White House is complete with 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 8 staircasses, and 3 elevators. There is a movie theater, a tennis court a bowling ally, and a swimming pool. The house isn't the only thing that has changed. Before it was named the White

The impoverished conditions in which the residents of this community live are difficult based on the surrounding violence and discrimination they face. Tre, Ricky’s best friend, is able to survive the surrounding violence and discrimination through his father’s sensational leadership; he therefore knows what to do in situations he faces among his friends. However, his friends are not so lucky. For example, Dough doesn’t have great leadership or a father figure, but is raised by a single mother who is determined to get her children to succeed; nevertheless, her main focus is Ricky because he has the most potential; he is an athlete who has trouble in school, but obtains All-American in football, looking to get a scholarship to USC. The mother’s lack of leadership over

The City of Stillwater and Oklahoma State University have proposed the erection of a “Western White House” as a presidential retreat. It is to be built here in Stillwater, Oklahoma after the 2016 election. Past presidents starting with Woodrow Wilson and on have all selected an out-of-the-way place to escape the political pressures of Washington and what other place will be more out-of-the-way than Stillwater, Oklahoma? The location for the “Western White House” will be adjacent to the grounds of the Oklahoma State University Botanic Gardens, in the open area northwest of the intersection of Sixth and Western Avenue.

The overall arching theme that encompassed the assigned texts for this week is transformation because of political unrest. The American people were plagued with a variety of issues in the sixties, such as the Vietnam War and civil rights for African Americans among others; however, 1968 was the boiling point for all these issues, especially because of the presidential elections. The United States was in a time of vulnerability because Johnson’s administration was unable to resolve these issues, so when it came time for the election of a new president, all hell broke loose. The presidential candidates, especially the ones from the Democratic Party, were willing to transform their political stance on some issues in order to sway a certain group of constituents to vote for them.

Many say the white house on Maple Street is strange and the old people who lived there would definitely agree. Nobody had stayed at the house for more than a year, especially since there was something strange inside its walls. The day came when another family had bought the house. That was the day their lives changed because there was someone already in the house. They were mad at the other owners for it, but they couldn’t sell the house because it was too late to find another house on the market. The person had already introduced himself and invited them to stay. The family said that they wanted some peace and quiet and nobody bothering them but they were wrong.
