Civil Disobedience has been around for hundreds of years. This a practice first put into play by a man by the name of Henry David Thoreau who believed that if you didn’t agree with a rule then you should act against it in a nonviolent way, and be willing to accept any punishment that comes with it. His teachings were followed by famous activists such as Ghandi, and Martin Luther King Jr., and many others.

aria Isabella Boyd also known as Belle Boyd and The Cleopatra of the Succession was born on May 9, 1844. She was born in Martinsburg, Virginia, now know as West Virginia. She grew up in a town that people were Union supporters. Her family had strong Southern roots and were supported the Confederates. Belle was a strong willed, high spritted, and a quick witted person. She was educated at The Mounted Female College. Before she was a spy she lived a charmed life as a debutante in Washington DC. When the war began Union troops stayed in her family's home. Her mother and one of the troops got into a confrontation and was using language that was offensive. Belle had enough and ended up shooting and killing the soldier. In a little bit of time

Strolling through the woods one day with my husband we stumbled across a head stone for the late Mrs. Bessie Vanburen, age 19, beloved wife and mother, died July 11th 1835. Our minds started to wonder back to a time long passed and the days before Mrs. Bessie was placed here.

An event on Thursday at the Dallas Mexican Consulate where Neave was scheduled to speak about her work for immigrants has been canceled. Carol Donovan who is Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party put out a statement.

- They moved to Macomb Illinois because they had non-segregated schools and a local college.

On a long dirt road in a wooden farmhouse in Mississippi, lived Bessie Vanburen, her 4 children, and her husband John Vanburen. Bessie was a beloved mother who did everything for everyone else before seeing about herself. She had 3 ?boys and 1 girl. Jackson & Justin were the oldest boys who were identical twins. Jonathan was the middle son who had autism where he needed proper care for his health. Jennifer was the only girl & the baby who was always whining about having to do stuff with her brothers all the time. Bessie was a very caring young woman who didn?t work but did housewife chores all day every day. ?The more dirt around the house the more she felt the need to clean up. At the age of 16 Bessie found love while playing in the field yard with some friends. Mr. John Vanburen took her hand in marriage and started a family with her. Although, Bessie was a slave she was very sick but was too busy to focus on her health. ?She stayed in the field majority of the day while her husband go? out and work to provide. The kids would be tagging along with her because there weren?t any babysitters around the way. Bessie was very young with a life of her own. She had lost both of her parents in war ?and grew up raising herself after her grandparent?s? passed. Everything that the family had for dinner was

Louise Day Hicks took a very unconventional path, unlike most women she choose to follow in her father 's footsteps of becoming a lawyer and politician, challenging the changing gender roles of that time, something I find admirable. Hicks had the power to be remembered as a political icon, being the first female Democrat to represent Massachusetts in the House or for her run for mayor of Boston, instead, she is remembered as a symbol of racism, something I can’t overlook. If I could sit down with Hicks I would ask her why she took a progressive stance while she was a representative, but then choose to implement and enforce discriminatory policies while she was on the Boston School Committee and running for mayor. I would ask her if she choose

Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on February 4, 1913 by her parents James and Leona McCauley. At the age of 2 Rosa’s parents separated causing Rosa to move to Pine Level, Alabama to live with her grandparents. In 1915 her brother Sylvester was born. Then later her parents began to separate. At the age of 11 Rosa moved to Montgomery, Alabama and attended high school which was known as a laboratory school called the Alabama state teachers college for Negroes. At the age of 16 parks left the school to care for her ill grandmother and chronically ill mother. When parks was 19 she married Raymond parks whom was self-educated, but was also 10 years her senior. Raymond Parks was a barber, a long-time member of the National Association

The final Walls child that was interviewed was Lori Walls. Being the oldest sibling, Lori Walls is left with more natural respoboilites. However, Lori is also forced to take up additional responsibilities when it comes to her parents. One example of this can be seen after Rose Mary Walls got a job as a public school teacher in Welch. This would have provided a steady income and helped the family to supply their needs for food. But, when Lori asked her mother about the money, she soon found out that the money had already been spent and that the family would not be able to afford dinner for the next night (Walls 197). While Rose Mary Walls has shown that she is capable to hold a job and make an income, she is irresponsible with the money and

Rose Mary and Rex Walls were a unique set of parents. Some tend to lean more into a permissive lifestyle that they lived. The Mother clearly did not care what her children did. Even though they were mature young kids, they still should have saved rules. The mother believed that children should not feel burdened which is why she never set any rules and acted as a friend. This evidence states that their mother did not care about their own personal growth and care, much like an irresponsible mother would act. Rex and Rose Mary were also les interested in their child's safety, again, showing little care. In the previous page, you can read that there was an intruder in the Walls' home due to the door being opened for ventilation. Their excuse for

Salice Rose in an inspiration to all of her fans. She does a lot for her fans because she treats them like her second family,She cares about all of her fans because they are there for her. They listen to her when no one else does when she feels like no one is there for her she talls her fans. Salice Roses fans have made a big impact in her life they gave her a reason to travel the world. She travels to meet all of her fans or her other family.

Even when things got difficult, Rex and Rose Mary Walls refused to become charity cases. They do not ask for nor accept support from their children when they become homeless. The value of being self-sufficient stems mainly from Rose Mary Walls, whose upbringing in an exceedingly disciplined home leads her to abandon rules when she becomes a mother.

Walk straight ahead and look to the right to see our fifth exhibit. This is the one of the exact copies of the front page of the Clarion, released in December 1946, which showcased Viola Desmond. It was titled: “Miss Viola Desmond Takes Action, 1946” (Nova Scotia Archives). In this newspaper, it displays a picture of Viola Desmond, and depicts what her experiences were when she went to the main floor setting area in the Roseland Theatre. According to Russell Bingham, on November 8, 1946, Viola Desmond's car broke down and could only be fixed in a matter of hours before she could drive it again. She decided to watch a movie at a local theatre, and had asked for tickets to the main floor. As she made her way to the main floor, she was challenged

I even went fishing and golfing with him several times at home, and we would always have a great time. As all the men stared at me with smirks on my face, my dad told me that I couldn’t go on the trip because I was too young. My cousin, just a year older, staring at me with a satisfied sneer was allowed to go just because he was a boy. I gave my dad an angry and betrayed look as my cousins laughed and taunted me. The rest of the afternoon, I refused to help with dinner and angrily fished by myself.

My parents took custody of my sister’s children, which then began the chaotic day-to-day home life that usually left me in tears by bedtime. I was in middle school at the time, as a middle school aged girl I felt a whirlwind of emotions. I wanted to do things that other kids my age were doing but that wasn’t always possible. With very mentally handicap children in our home it wasn’t easy to just invite a friend over to come spend the night, not only would my mom say no but also I was far too embarrassed. I wanted to go out and eat in a restaurant like I heard my friends talking about, but no, going out to eat with my sister’s children would be very difficult because they couldn’t sit still or refrain from making loud noises in public places. I wanted my mom to take my friend and I to the movies rather than always going with a friend and their mom, but my mom was always tied down to caring for my sister’s
