Recommended: Summary of the book Ellen G white

People have many different views of Ellen White and her ministry. I recently took Adventist Heritage where we read many of Ellen White’s writings and did a lot of research on her life. That class gave me a deeper understanding and respect for Ellen White. After reading these two articles I have been further educated to just how amazing Ellen white and her ministry was. James Nix gave a quick summary of things she has contributed in his article “The Light Still Shines.” I agree with everything he has put on his list. I think there is a lot not on his list, but it is impossible to include all that Ellen White has contributed. I think it is also important that James Nix included the eight reasons why he thinks that the writings of Ellen White

They realized the importance of education and utilized it to change the climate of their time. I think these to women defined the term "ordinary to extraordinary". They had both broke through color and gender barriers and earned the respect and admiration of colleagues, politicians the African American people. Who knows what would have happened if these two brave women did not stand up and accomplish what they had done. Would "White Supremacy" prevail in a post WWII society. It is hard to quantify the contribution of these women to the civil rights movement but I think it is safe to say that we were fortunate as a nation to have these great crusaders, as well as many other notable figures, to educate us and force us to see change in the United States.

    There are many people who have contributed to society as a whole, men and women both. Some have contributed much more than others. One of them being Sandra Day O’Connor. I did not know too much about Sandra Day O’Connor until I read her background history. She was a very significant role in history; she was the first woman to be appointed as a justice in Supreme Court. She proved to the country that it does not matter what your gender is, she showed everyone that she had what it took to make it in the world. She was a very successful woman and a great inspiration to women at this time in the world. Obviously women had a hard time getting to that status with women being looked at as inferior to men. Her dedication, determination, and the fact she changed history drastically is a reason I chose to write my final over her.

    I would like to first tell you that I enjoyed your discussion forum about Ida B. Wells. Ida B Wells is one of my favorite social activities, because of the impact she had on equity and racism. Many black men were lynched during the 1960’s and Ida B. Wells, took a stand against the cruel treatment. All thought America has come a long way, there is so much more work that needs to be done to protect the rights of African Americans. I agree, Ida B. Wells is not the only activist, there are many who have pave the way in nation’s history. Jane Adams wrote closely with Ida B. Wells on many issues of racism when they ran the National Association for Advancement of Colored People in Chicago (Martin, 2018). They both worked to fight against racial segregation

    Goodness verses evil is how most novels portray light verses dark. Marilynne Robinson challenges this idea in her novel Housekeeping by changing the roles of light and dark. Light, in her novel, represents a normal life as Lucille, the protagonist’s sister, chooses to endorse. Darkness is portrayed as a source of enlightenment and a path to an abnormal life which Ruth, the protagonist, and Sylvie, the protagonist’s aunt, embrace. In the novel Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, the main characters, Ruth and Lucille, have to choose their lifestyle as a normal one in the light, or one that is unique in the dark.

She changed the Klan from a dreamy, secret fraternity to an aggressive protector of Americanism, a group of white robed warriors determined to defend the country from all they deemed unworthy. She was smart enough to capitalize on all of the post war patriotism that was still rampant in most parts of the country. She sold the Klan as a package that offered a hate of something for everyone; if you didn’t hate Catholics then you might hate Jews and maybe even grow to hate Catholics.
