...A Lifetime in Black America 1900 Booker T. Washington During Spring Break of 2017, my History class inspired a road trip with my twelve-year-old daughter. We toured great sites such as Rosa Parks Museum, Dr. Kings Floating Grave and both Spelman and Morehouse College. Along the way, we talked about how each visit resonated a profound sense of vision within us. Consequently, I chose six core black Americans figures to express how each individual story helped to shape the United States of America. Beginning in the early 20th century, President Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington (a former slave and prominent black leader) to dinner. Washington, who founded the Tuskegee Institute, was one of the most influential intellectuals of the era. Roosevelt, known for his impulsiveness, respected Washington, who also advised President William Howard Taft. Though Booker was not the first African American to advise a...

...As P.T. Barnum, one of the greatest creative minds in the entertainment business once said, “Literature is one of the most interesting and significant expressions of humanity.” Literature is considered the heroes of stories and poems. That means they are not weak in plot or character, carefully crafted by the author and they have stood the test of time as a beloved classic. Literature is never constant, but always changing just as the people and culture change throughout the years. Firstly, language has gone through massive changes throughout the centuries, which in turn will change the way the books and poems are written. It transformed from a West Germanic language like Dutch, which was very difficult to understand, to “Middle English”. It...

...Alisa Ali Dr. Jennifer Gliere Introduction to Music 5 December 2016 Final Project: Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” Journey is an American rock and roll band that was formed in 1973. It consists of guitarist and backing vocalist Neal Schon, bass player and backing vocalist Ross Valory, keyboard player and backing vocalist Jonathan Cain, drummer Steve Smith, and finally the leading vocalist Arnel Pineda (The Band). The band’s first album was released in 1975 but it was not a big hit. The following seven albums were not so lucky either. “After 1978, when big-voiced, feather-haired lead singer Steve Perry joined Journey, the group became a dominant force in what’s sometimes derisively referred to as “corporate rock”” (Murray). Hence, many contend that the band only became famous when Perry joined. However, it was only their eighth album, 1981’s Escape, which gave the band its popularity with its three top hits: “Who’s Crying Now”, “Don’t Stop Believing”, and “Open Arms”. Their next album, known as 1983's Frontiers, heightened their popularity even further and received number 2 on the album charts. The band was even given a contract with NFL Films for a documentary on the group members. The band broke up in 1984 and it wasn’t until 1995 that they reunited again. Additionally, the lead singer was replaced in 1998 and again in 2006 (Smith). Hence, this band was not a very stable one. However, they still had hope and were determined to make the band a success. The hit “Don’t Stop...

...Segregation is the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart. I am one of the white students attending T.C. Williams High School. In my opinion, we should not return to segregation. First of all, living with different people is good to know the different culture. Before the important race helds, my teammates and me had a very sharp conflict. At that time, we thought that black students and white students could not help and work together. One Black and one White high school are closed and the students sent to T.C. williams HIgh School. This was a first time in the town that combined with black people and white people in the same high school. We don’t like each other because of skin, culture, lifestyle. After a period time to get along with them, I must admit that live with black people are a very interesting and cheerful thing. I have an African-American friend who is live with me in the same dormitory. He always sings songs and dances. At the beginning, I was very irritated and misapprehension. I have no interested in running around with artists or learning something artistic. I need a peaceful place for me to study. But soon I was found that I accepted his habits. He taught me a lot of songs about black culture. Such as African-American is rooted in West and Central Africa. For many years African-American culture developed separately from European-American culture, both because of slavery and the persistence of racial...

...Growing into the person you want to become is no easy task. There are events and people in our lives that mold us into the people we are in the present. Those people and events help us discover what we do and don’t want in life. They help us realize what path we want to take and what choices to make. At least for me, that is how my life course has been. The three items in my bag helped me choose what I wanted, what I needed, and where I want to be in life. The Hollywood Feed t-shirt symbolizes how I figured out what I wanted to do when I got older. The Zeta Tau Alpha jersey symbolizes my steady support system and how it has molded me as a person and will continue to do so. The third is a blazer, which represents my dream of becoming a businesswoman while doing something I love, helping people. My first item is a t-shirt. This worn-out, old t-shirt helped me decide what I aspired to do with my life. It is not the t-shirt I care about, but what it represents. This t-shirt is from Hollywood Feed, my first real job. This store is a holistic pet food store. I was seventeen, in my junior year,...

...The twentieth-century debate between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B DuBois is one of the most well-known. Washington and DuBois wanted to improve the lives of African Americans and challenge the systems of racial prejudice and oppression. However, they had different opinions and approaches on how to promote a better life. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B DuBois both had significant roles in the movement. Booker T. Washington believed that the best path for African Americans was to attend school. Washington heard about the Hampton and when he finally arrived, he felt for the first time of what it was like to be a man instead of property. Students could attend school and also work. “Has not the negro boy or girl as good a right to study French grammar and instrumental music as the white youth?” He answered yes; however, he believes that the current condition, at that time, needed...

...In 1998, Amnesty International stated “Human rights aren’t just a foreign affair.” Human rights violations towards minority communities in the United States existed before 1998 and persist into the twenty first century, spurring distrust amongst people of color. Perpetrators of these violations are often those charged with protection: the police. A report by Amnesty International in the same year detailed police using lethal and unnecessary force towards predominately black and Hispanic people (Terence Fitzgerald). Sixteen years later, the death of a black teenager, Michael Brown, at the hands of a policeman, sparked national outrage. The phrase coined, “Hands up, don’t shoot,” addressed the presumption of guilt that exists towards people of color, specifically black and Hispanic peoples. This incident highlighted not only one death, but the systematic racism that exists in the police force. Bias taught in institutions, exists in the nonexistent “post racial America” (Jeffrey Rachlinski and Gregory Parks). In order to combat this violence stemming from institutional bias and prejudice towards minorities in the United States, law enforcement should undergo systemic reforms with the goal of preserving the lives and legal rights of black and Hispanic people. According to the Mollen Commission, black lives are targeted by the police as victims of intense brutality and violence, often facing injury and death (Wade Henderson). Various murders of black men and women across the country...
