James H. Morrison: Rights for All Louisiana Congressman James Morrison, serving in the United States House of Representatives from 1943 to 1967, did not fit the mold of a Deep South white politician in the 20th century. A moderate on civil rights issues, rather than a typical staunch segregationist, he supported the important Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to extend a voice to voiceless southern blacks. In voting for this act, Morrison lost re-election to Congress in 1966 (“J.H Morrison”). Morrison voted for the Act, exemplifying political courage as described by John F.

The aurora phenomenon occurs at poles of both the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet.…
An aurora is an electromagnetic phenomenon, which results in a luminous colour display seen in the night sky. These light shows can be viewed in winter months of the polar regions of the northern hemisphere, referred to as Photographer: Larry Gerbrandt aurora borealis, as well as the southern hemisphere, referred to as aurora australis (46 Lerner and Lerner). They appear many different shapes, such as patches of light, rays, arcs, or streamers across the sky.

In Latin, aurora translates to mean ‘dawn’, like the Greek goddess of the same name.…
The author writes “ Every time I shop at my local grocery story, I am faced with a choice. I can buy my groceries from a human being or from a machine.

On March 6, 1716, crowds of people gathered in the streets of England to gaze up at the sky in marvel of the vibrant streams of light that danced across the night sky – an unexplained phenomenon at the time (Fara 1996). This was the first time English astronomer Edmund Halley witnessed this display. This experience led him to publish the first detailed description of what is now commonly known as the “aurora” (P. Brekke and Broms 2013; Bone 2007) (include pic of his drawings). The theories that he proposed led to the birth of modern science and to a certain extent shaped our current understanding of the nature of aurorae, how they form, and whether or not they occur on other planets.
