William B Hartsfield Accomplishments

Lyndon B. Johnson had only served one term, but he surprisingly accomplished a lot during his only term. Johnson had the ability to pass the acts that Kennedy created during his time in office. Some of these accomplishments include: Medicare and Medicaid, Education acts, and the Civil Rights acts. In order to continue his war on poverty, he established Medicare and Medicaid to aid poor families and the elderly. To further help families in need, as well as children, Johnson passed education acts to fix and create more public schools in poor areas. Lastly, civil rights acts were passed to give better opportunities for blacks within the United States. While these acts were based on Kennedy's ideas, Johnson found the way to put them into place.

“It was time, I thought, for someone to stand up for what’s right; and it might as well be me.” Ivan Allen Jr. wrote these words in a journal just days after the Atlanta mayoral election of 1961. Allen Jr. made the decision early on in his political career to base his choice-making not on the polls, but on his own moral values. He possessed a certain quiet strength that made him an admirable character in the political scene. His fortitude of character and bravery enabled him to become one of the most impactful mayors in our nation’s history.

William Chafe evaluated Greensboro during this time to determine what went wrong with the civil rights movement and why it took so long to move in a direction that would desegregate the south.  During the 1930s Greensboro was home to many black colleges, there was an established black middle class and people seemed to be able to get along and live in the same community with little problems. When the Supreme Court passed the ruling over Brown v. Board of education Greensboro appeared willing to integrate however six years later Greensboro and the rest of NC still did very little to integrated schools.

George S. Patton was one of the most highly regarded and successful military leaders in the history of the United States. His military career spanned from the expedition into Mexico throughout WWII. His ability to inspire his troops with his profane filled speeches and his position of always leading from the front gained him vast popularity and fame. Many political leaders considered him too controversial and intemperate at times. This reputation often overshadowed his determination and success as a commander. His bravery and many contributions to several of America’s war efforts has established him as one of the greats in American military history.

His many accomplishments include bringing changes into the sanitation of the city, stabilizing city’s finances, making summer employment available for graduates, assuaging fiscal problems, cutting government waste, and so on. Serving 30 years as the city’s leader, he also brought drastic changes to curb city crime rates, and lessened infancy

When I started to read about Senator Hart and his accomplishments I was very impressed. Whether I agree with all his political stances or not, it does not matter. He did what he did for the greater good of the people. His political interests were not shaped by personal gain or any other internal interests. Before his political career began, he served as a lieutenant

But Georgians really needed the program because they were already poor and struggling especially in the rural areas. Unemployment was very high and people can benefit from the program immediately especially, the WPA program and later on the Social Security Act. He believed that by Participating in the program, the Federal Government would be on Georgia’s case to end segregation and this was what he vowed to defend with his last blood. But People like Richard Russell an anti civil right movement supported the New Deal and believed that Georgia was poor and can make use of the funding. E. D. Rivers also believed in the New Deal. Talmadge feared that Federal government might look into Georgia educational system which was segregated and appealed for it to be desegregated. He was opposed to any contribution towards public education and would do anything to keep it segregated. According Meyers, “his actions as a governor included the suspension of all state taxes in 1933, the declaration of martial law in the 1934 to break a textile strike and outspoken opposition to President Roosevelt’s New Deal” (p.255). The opposing views on the New Deal created some tension in the Democratic Party that led to splitting of the party in the 1930s and eventually in the 1960s. Talmadge had the idea of challenging the

Who was Philip A. Hart? Not only was he an 18 year senator, but also a district attorney, lieutenant governor, World War II veteran, and on top of all, a father. He was a supporter and voice for the everyday American, and fought for what was best for them. His engagement to these people and the ideals he supported led him to receive the title of “Conscience of the Senate”. Philip received this name because he focused on creating a better education for today’s children, improving the environment, providing civil rights for all citizens, and creating opportunities. In a like manner, I reflect and carry out these four core values, and ultimately, public service. Through my leadership roles and volunteerism, I too am trying to build a future for the common man and generations to come.

Before getting into the background of what makes New York City the “Supreme” city it is considered today, it is imperative for all to understand the hardships faced by those who attempted to make a difference. Individuals ventured through the sacred gates with only promise of wealth and happiness to feed the ambition in their souls. Soon thereafter, Tammany was formed, to provide protection and bind the people of each borough. Being part of Tammany created a unified and compact community, which was what strengthened each neighborhood. Jimmy Walker, the Mayor of New York City between 1926 and 1932, grew up in a Tammany neighborhood. Understanding the struggles encountered by people in his community, caused
