This was a great post because I learned a lot about the Septima Poinsette Clark. I learned that she was an African American educator who was fired as a teacher because of her role to change segregation laws so black students could be taught by black teachers. I learned she developed workshops for reading and writing to help African Americans gain civil rights to vote.
The story “Tumba,” by Mira Canion, is about a boy named Alex, who lives in Ciudad, Mexico. He is very nervous about the upcoming holiday, Dia de los Muertos because his Abuela speaks to spirits, which come out during Dia de los Muertos. The story follows him and his friend, David, as they explore the Day of the Dead traditions and even meet some of the ghosts his abuela talks to. Alex es inteligente y simpático. Le gusta arte. David es Alex’s amigo. Él es atlética y paciente. Le gustan deportes. Alex’s Abuela es reservada y misteriosa. Le gusta música. Alex’s hermana, Nora, es atrevida y sociable. Le gusta sus amigos. Sergio es cruel y agresivo, no le gusta Alex.
As I waited to observe the audience as they filled the seats with pencil in hand, I was amazed by the amount of diversity I saw before me. By the time the lecture was ready to set foot, I observed that nearly the entire lecture hall was filled. I would say that the hall where our discussion was being held in could probably hold around 300 people. The majority of the audience was not students forced to write a paper on the Brown v. Board Commemoration events, but rather scholars who were on average in their mid-40s. It seemed as though everyone knew each other to some degree. At one point, I saw a woman walk in with her young son and they were greeted by one of the first presenters. Oftentimes, groups of 2 or 3 walked into the room and they would sit down in no particular section of the seating and proceed to talk moderately loudly and peacefully. There was a sense of joy and rejuvenation in the air. After making my final observations of the crowd, I noted that it was a predominantly white showing! Not something I would expect to see when attending a discussion on slavery. It was a spectacle for me to see a group of Asian Americans nodding in unison when points were made during the seminar relating to black and white race relations. I would say that African-Americans wer...
represented a turning point in black American history. It, presented an opportunity to improve race relations at home despite the fighting abroad. How could you be racist against people whom are fighting to stabilize your freedom and the freedom of others was the mentality in the minds of black soldiers.
The reason I chose this as my pivotal moment was because many people do not know of this very wonderful and tragic story of the successful, business savvy, and intelligent ways of the black people.
...s speech made an immense impact on the injustices of segregation and discrimination against people.
I'm going to start tonight by talking a little bit about public accountability. Over the past month, Lucille Kring and Kris Murray have lambasted my parents and me for criticizing them in front of the crowd in this room and those listening at home.
This event is about: Oliver Brown, a father who wanted the best for his daughter education, Harry Briggs Jr, a student that was tired of getting to school late and dirty because the whites school bus would splash them, Dorothy E. Davis, another student who was tired of sitting up in class because the whites had all the chairs, Francis B. Gabhart . They were all complaining about how African American adults and kids were not treated the same way as White People were treated even after coming out slavery. White people had the opportunity to go to school, ride in buses sit down during class. While black people did not have that chance; and if they did they would sent more time clean
For Black History month I chose to write about Rosa Parks. I chose to write about her because she inspired me to stand up for myself and not let anyone push me around. Rosa Parks is one of my biggest roll models because of her courage to not give up her seat, even though she knew the consequences.
Your response to the chapter “Pregnant Embodiment: Subjectivity and Alienation” by Young (1984) was very interesting. Especially how you have described the situation of the woman in the second paragraph.
It is my hope that you had an awesome week. Your post was very interesting to me, especially the fact about the Native and the people that lives alone the border that has the belief of not wanting vaccinations, to prevent an epidemic. According to the CDC "experts aren't sure exactly why, but reasons that these populations are at high risk of flu complications could include social and economic factors that often result in reduced access to health care and crowded living conditions. This was very eye opening to me , could it be that some do not trust medical staff or just the lack of effective communication? Great post, good luck luck on the midterms exams .
I enjoyed “Empathy: What We Need Now,” it had a good amount of ethos. She seemed qualified to be talking about the subject matter. She also cited Martin Luther King Jr. Jeremy Rifkin, and Dave Eggers. It was longer of an essay compared to the other essays read this week; however the way it was written made it go by fast. The introduction and conclusion were both set apart from the rest of the essay; at first I didn’t like that, but once I finished reading it I realized that that is why the essay went by so
I chose to right about The Civil Rights Movemoent in the United States and about two important figures who contributed in this movement: Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. I chose this topic because of the importance of the equality in the human societies which has to be the foundation stone of every civilized society.

C. maculatus is most wide;y sued for ex[eriments due to its reproductivity feauture. Although, with this type of beetle, their reproductive physiology differs betwwen aspects. However, if they are exposed significantly they can reach a stress peak which can lead to mortality. According to a study, performed by various scientists, they found out that be if poked enough these organism reached a level so large that is possible for those traits to be passed to their offspring. The research cocluded that after multiple female mating, there was significant genetic variation of
Last but not least, the challenging part of this week’s assignments was the discussion forum. First I struggled to comprehend the questions, but after reading it over and over and searching on the internet for similar questions, I somewhat understood the questions. Then I drafted the answer and posted, and I was also excited to see others posts too. By going through my peer’s posts, I learned a great deal in approaches to the questions. Some of the answers were very interesting and detailed. The feedback that I received from my peers made me think about the questions as well which was
The interviewee started by sharing some new events she would never forget. Obama’s presidency, the civil rights movement, and the assignation of John F. Kennedy were news significant events mentioned. The Obama presidency is a news event that impacted her personally. She was alive when discrimination and segregation
