...struggle specific groups and individuals faced throughout the time period. Beginning with Ida B. Wells in the 1890, and ending with the struggles the NAACP faced in the 1950’s, the ability to build support was often met with the challenges of racism and oppression. No other person exemplified this struggle more so then Ida B. Wells. Even though Ida enjoyed a substantial following through her writings of books, and speech making, she still faced threats to her and was even exiled and forced to leave the United States, and go to England. Although dealt this major setback in her forced move to England, Ida. B. did not become discouraged and continued her work in fighting for equality for blacks in the South. In her writing of the Red Record, and Southern Horrors, Ida was able to capture the horrific climate lynching in the South. Because of this work, Ida transformed many peoples perception of the South where before her work many believed that almost all types of oppression ended with the conclusion of the Civil War. As a result of this shift in public opinion, Ida began receiving substantial funding from not only whites in the North, but also from England; whom the South depended on heavily because of their trade relations. Through these efforts, Ida was responsible for starting groups such as the anti-lynching Bureau, and the NAACP. These organizations that were formed in large part because of Ida B. Wells can be judged as perhaps the biggest reason why lynching in...

...Nursing Theory Paper Nurs/403 March 7, 2011 Jacqueline DePaulis Nursing Theory Paper Many different nursing theories have been developed by leaders in the nursing field over the past 40 years. I chose the nurse theorist, Ida Jean Orlando because of my lack of knowledge of Ms. Orlando and her theory, The Deliberative Nursing Process. She was one of the first nursing theorists to write about the nursing process based on her own research. This theory involves interpersonal processes occurring between a patient and a nurse that will identify an immediate need of that patient (Mosby, 2010). Ms. Orlando believed nurses should have more input in a patient’s care than was allowed by the constraints of policies, job description, and protocols. This theory is used in education, nursing, and nursing practice today. Similar to all theories, The Deliberative Nursing Process defines what part the environment, health, person, and nursing roles assume. Background of Ida Jean Orlando Ida Jean Orlando was born in 1926, a first generation of Italian Americans. She received a nursing diploma from New York Medical College. Her first job was at a maternity hospital. Feeling less than challenged as a nurse in her decision making, she went on to receive her Bachelor’s of Science in Pubic Health from St. John's University in Brooklyn, New York. She went into pubic health hoping to find more autonomy but was disappointed to find it consisted of policies and protocols in which the nurses...

...Ida Tarbell In my experience, a hero can often be described as someone who sacrifices, and puts others before themselves, which is what many people did in American History. Specifically during the progressive period, many big names contributed to the growth of social and political reform. One person that contributed in some way to this booming idea was Ida Tarbell. Family history, and curiosity to achieve something great pushed Ida Tarbell to be the change she wanted to see in her lifetime. Selfless acts done to see this change is a prime example of a hero. Growing up Ida was surrounded by business, and lived in an era which many people were driven to become the change the world needed. For example, Ida’s desire to observe and understand led her to research deeply about...

...Women’s Roles Then and Now Kimberly Lane Dr. Ed. Yancey HUM-World Culture II November 24, 2011 Phillis Wheatley was purchased by Peter Gwinn as part of a cargo of slaves in a region his employer describes as “Sinagall,” most likely today’s Senegal. She was brought to Boston around seven years old to market of John Avery; there Mrs. Susanna Wheatley purchased the diminutive and sickly Phillis. When Phillis came to the Colonies, she did not speak any English, but she quickly learned to read and write Latin and English. John Wheatley, her master, said she was able to read the Bible fluently in sixteen months. Susanna Wheatley and her daughter Mary did not have a scholarly interest themselves but simply fostered Phillis’ interest in Alexander Pope, Milton, and Homer. Phyllis joined the Old South Meeting House in 1771, solidifying her Puritan faith. The Wheatley family took pride in their “experiment” and showed Phillis off to other prominent families in the Boston Area. Her role as a young woman in the family was complex. She had few domestic tasks, but was still the property of Mr. and Mrs. Wheatleys. She had privileges that other slaves seldom had, such as a lighted and heated room. Kenny Williams’ quotes friends of the family as saying that she “dined modestly apart from the rest of the company...where she could certainly expect neither to give nor receive offense.” Her role was unclear in the family and in society in general: “She inhabited a strange, ambiguous twilight...

...how society is different because of the person's work how you and others living today benefit from his or her efforts Ida B. Wells deserves a National Holiday to honor her civic and political participation for women’s suffrage and civil rights. Even though she was a teacher in her early life, at a young age, Ida B. Wells witnessed the lynchings of young African-Americans and wanted to make change. From there, she eventually became a journalist and became part-owner of the Memphis Free Speech. Wells was an active journalist that exposed the harshness of the lynchings that occurred, and was an active women’s rights suffrage supporter. Commonly in these times, she would’ve been considered a “muckraker”. Politically, she was an active citizen who wanted to tell the public what was going on in the African American culture, and because of this, she showed how being participating in government can affect what happens in the legislative and judicial branch. When Wells’ articles about lynching and about white women pursuing Black men got popular, it led to death threats against her and her newspaper offices. Eventually, one night, her newspaper office got burned down. She left Memphis and moved to New York, where she became part owner of The New York Age and continued to write articles exposing the crimes of lynching. When Ida B. Wells moved to New York, she...

...Eddie A. Wigginton Jr. History H106 Dr. Robertson The American Negro The American Negro is a speech written by Booker T. Washington September 18, 1895. Washington was born April 5, 1856 and died November 14, 1915. He was known as an educator and a reformer for the black community. A majority of his professional career was spent living in Tuskegee Alabama, home of Tuskegee University (Encyclopedia Britannica para. 1). “Along with disenfranchisement, the 1890’s saw the widespread imposition of segregation in the south” (Foner p.646). At this period in time whites were having issues coinciding with blacks, rather it was in the workplace, theatre, or on a train. Since Reconstruction, matters have only got worse. The South at this point were still trying to find ways around federal laws like arresting unemployed blacks for minor crimes and placing them onto farms to work as punishment (Foner 641). The biographical detail I will point out is where he lived throughout his professional life, Tuskegee Alabama. Washington is a resident of the problematic and highly racist south. He goes on to explain that blacks are one third of the South’s population (Washington para. 1). They can either be productive, intelligent, hardworking workers or they could be the opposite. Washington genuinely cares about the outcomes of the South and its progression as a resident. This reason alone gives purpose to the whole speech. After the reading of the speech I believe Washington wanted...

She was driven to help others and herself learn as much about the structural alignment and function of the human body, as was conceivably possible. She did just that and her legacy continues today at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. Ida was born and raised in the Bronx in 1896. She graduated with a PhD in Biochemistry in 1920 and continued her work as a researcher studying not only chemistry but hatha yoga, homeopathy, and osteopathy, as well. She shared her growing incites into the structure and function of the human body to anyone who was interested and would listen. Who is Ida Rolf and why did she change the way we look at manual therapy? Perhaps her first steps along this path came from an...

...Born a slave in 1862, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was the oldest daughter of James and Lizzie Wells. The Wells family, as well as the rest of the nation's slaves, were freed about six months after Ida's birth, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. However, living in Mississippi as African Americans, they faced racial prejudices and were restricted by discriminatory rules and practices. Wells-Barnett's father served on the first board of trustees for Rust College and made education a priority for his seven children. It was there that Wells-Barnett received her early schooling, but she had to drop out at the age of 16, when tragedy struck her family. Both of her parents and one of her siblings died in a yellow fever outbreak, leaving Wells-Barnett to care for her other siblings. Ever resourceful, she convinced a nearby country school administrator that she was 18, and landed a job as a teacher. On one fateful train ride from Memphis to Nashville, in May 1884, Wells-Barnett reached a personal turning point. Having bought a first-class train ticket to Nashville, she was outraged when the train crew ordered her to move to the car for African Americans, and refused on principle. She was then forcibly removed from the train. Wells-Barnett sued the railroad, winning a $500 settlement in a circuit court case. But that decision was later overturned by the Tennessee Supreme Court. This injustice led Wells-Barnett to pick up a pen to write about issues of race and politics in the South...

...Ida B. Wells, an Afro-American activist, advocate, and journalist, develops her power, effectively, in the 1892 Preface of Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in all its Phases in order to condemn a horrific case, also known as lynching. Knowing first hand “The Afro-American is not a bestial race,” Wells does not give up no matter what, in any circumstance, for the purpose of her audience to unquestionably understand the seriousness for an important idea: leadership. Through an introduction of horrid betrayal amongst all races, evidence of the focussed idea - lynch laws - and repeating key concepts metaphorically, Ida B. Wells develops a highly effective argument that connects her audience to the larger issue at hand and invites them to join a strive for her significant battle. Wells transverses leadership through emotional appeal by empathising the usage of determination. Physical discomfort and mental frustration - influenced from anger - manipulates “the awful death-roll” with an exaggerated point of view for allusion amongst Afro-American women. Continuing in this vein, the “poor blind Afro-American Sampsons” suffered horrid dishonesty from unlawful behaviors, which later sets the stage for her main argument of lynching to contrast the...
