Feng Ru Research Paper

There may been times when people have been treated unfairly, just because of their appearance or their social life.
Something like this may have happened to you, as it happened to many famous people in the past. For instance, Feng Ru, Melba Pattillo Beals and Jackie Robinson -- they all have experienced unjust treatment. The only difference is, they actually stood up to change that. Here’s how, and here’s why.

Feng Ru-- “The Father of Aviation”-- is a crucial inspiration for going after his dreams. As a Chinese immigrant in the USA, people don’t seem to like him and prevent him to invent airplanes, for fear China would attack the US.
For example, “Feng was leaving just in time: anti-Chinese sentiment was on the rise in the American West,

and the Oregonian reported of the pilot’s last flight: ‘Immigration officials and customs inspectors are today said to be gnashing their teeth. They find it hard enough to keep the Chinese out now, without having them dropping in on flying machines.’” (The Father of Chinese Aviation Para-10)
Anti-Chinese means no Chinese immigrants, and immigration officers urge Feng to leave the USA. They aren’t happy that a Chinese immigrant is here, believing that the Chinese would attack on the invention Feng Ru invented. Here’s something about Feng’s beginning.
Before, “Feng immigrated to the U.S. from China sometime between 1894 and 1898, when he was in his early teens, and immediately set to work doing odd jobs at a Chinese mission in San Francisco. “He was staggered by America’s power and prosperity. He understood that industrialization made the country great, and felt that industrialization could do the same for China,” says historian Patti Gully, who has co-authored a book on the contributions of Chinese living outside their country to the development of aviation in China. “So he went east to learn all he could about machines, working in shipyards, power plants, machine shops, anywhere he could acquire mechanical knowledge.” (The Father of Chinese Aviation Para-4)
As you can see, Feng Ru has a grand passion in aviation. So much that he gallivanted, or traveled all across the US. Just to only pursue his dream to have industrialization in his country (or the power to create groups of industries,) similar the USA, powerful.
In a way, without Feng Ru being the first to follow his dreams as a Chinese immigrant, we wouldn’t have planes that early. And so we wouldn’t have done anything to make a stand for racial immigration, like Melba Beals.

It has been 3 years after Brown v. Board of education when finally the students would step onto the what is a the segregated white school. She risked her life to make her black community’s dream come true. Innovating a new future to change the unjust in the world with nothing but your own life can make others believe the possibilities of hope.
For instance, “I felt proud and sad at the same time. Proud that I lived in a country that would go this far to bring justice to a Little Rock girl like me, but sad that they had to go to such great lengths. Yes, this is the United States, I thought to myself. There is a reason that I salute the flag. If these guys just go with us this first time, everything’s going to be okay.” (Warriors Don’t Cry Para-16)
She had created history to go to a segregated white school, sent with armed escort. Woodrow Wilson Mann, the mayor of Little Rock, asked President Eisenhower to have troops to protect the nine students. One of them Melba Beals which described the scene as, “Step by step we climbed upward-where none of my people had ever before walked as a student. We stepped up the front door of Central High School and crossed the threshold into that place where angry segregationist mobs had forbidden us to go. “ (Warriors Don’t Cry Para-18)
With this in our minds, note that it has been a long, long time until black students could finally go to a white school. Centuries, in fact. Think about it, when finally you can get the same education as another person with a lighter skin color after so many years of mistreatment.
As the mark of Brown v.

Board of Education, Melba Pattillo Beals will always be known as one of the first black students to go to a white school. Her race have hoped of this for years now, and the Little Rock Nine had made it with the support of the general army. People went as far as to hurt them, resulting as far for the government to support nine black students. This is what it takes to charge forward, or to hit a home run like Jackie Robinson.

Particularly, Jackie Robinson is best known for being the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues. As an experiment, to have baseball a national sport, Jackie Robinson was chosen to be a baseball player. He stood ground as people threatened harm on him. Without the support on him, though, Robinson wouldn’t have made it.
Jackie was chosen by Ricky, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he had made baseball a national sport and succeeded as the first successful black baseball player. However, Jackie Robinson had written, “In a very real sense, black people helped make the experiment succeed. Many who came to the ball park had not been baseball fans before I began to play in the big leagues. Suppressed and repressed for so many years, they needed a victorious black man as a symbol. It would help them believe in themselves. But black support of the first black man in the majors was a complicated matter. The breakthrough created as much danger as it did hope.”(I Never Had It Made

Para-10)
Notably, the blacks supported Robinson to be a successful black man, vice versa, Robinson supported them back. In other words, the experiment only succeeded because of black people. To put it in other words, many weren’t even baseball fans until they heard about Jackie Robinson. The problem is, it created more danger mixed with the hope of their community. Truly. both of them had worked hard to keep their cool, to remain steel.
To emphasize, Jackie Robinson and his black people had to keep their cool when at the game.

A place where people shout racial slurs. They can’t afford to be kicked out for reacting to a racist act. To repeat, “It was one thing for me out there on the playing field to be able to keep my cool in the face of insults. But it was another for all those black people sitting in the stands to keep from overreacting when they sensed a racial slur or an unjust decision. ...I learned from Rachel, who had spent hours in the stands, that clergymen and laymen had held meetings in the black community to spread the word. We all knew about the help of the black press. Mr. Rickey and I owed them a great deal.”(I Never Had It Made Para-10)
Under those circumstances, it was incredibly hard to stay disciplined in such an unjust environment. From the piece of text, Jackie Robinson got helped from even the black press.
Overall, because of Jackie Robinson, we wouldn’t have crossed the “color line” sooner or later. Thanks to him, blacks could show what they really were, and are stronger in numbers. Hope, belief, and support is all what it takes to step across the boundaries of

color.
Given these points, all of these people have changed the lives of people including themselves. Feng Ru, melba Beals, and Jackie Robinson use what we called empathy, reliance, and dreams with a defiant shake of social justice to make a recipe of what we call turning points.

Turning points, as in the change in people’s lives and history.

Turning points, as in an optimistic tomorrow.
