In High School we were sadly not taught about the May 4th shooting and as a High School history teacher that is something that I want to teach my students because it is such a big thing. At DKS is the first time I actually heard the story. A boy was very knowledgeable on the topic. I was told that the US guardsmen shot and killed 4 people and 1, a girl, was simple walking to class. He told us that prior to this date that there was ruckus due to a biker gang and they threatened a guardsmen and the guardsmen thought it was one of the students, however, at the May 4th center I learn that the guardsmen weren’t even at Kent state yet until after that date.…

a) A Chicano has many meaning to different people; people define Chicano in their own different way. Many people will go with the simple definition which is a person that is born as American but has origin of a Mexican, however, for me, a Chicano is someone who is proud of who they are and defend their own for a fair treatment. A Chicano is a Mexican-American who is proud to say that they are a Chicano. For example, to me, Cesar Chavez defended all Chicanos and himself from the unfair treatment and payment that the Chicano got from the plantations. To me, Cesar Chavez is a true Chicano because he accepted who he was and defended his own people from others who saw them as unworthy and useless farmers or grape pickers.…
Ethnic classes are a way for students to learn American history through the perspective of people or races who are not from the United States. These people or races have played a role in the progression of the United States' history with their contributions and ideas. Many schools across the country have adopted ethnic studies as an alternative way for students to learn history. However, some school districts are less favorable towards ethnic studies, such as a school district in Arizona. In 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed House Bill 2281.…
Todd Beer states that 50.9% of Caucasian citizens have been killed by law enforcement, and 26.5% of African Americans have been also killed by law enforcement, in the year of 2015-2016 in America. Fellow Americans, many of us think about the protests around America with the subject of “Black Lives Matter”, citizens started these protests for the fact of showing that police violence needed to stop against unarmed African Americans. With the protest and the investigations on the violence between law enforcement and the African American citizens many are saying that Caucasian police officers shoot African Americans more than any race, but it has been proven that African American police officers have been known to shoot at African Americans as…
The U.S. Supreme Court decision reached in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) unleashed a process of public school desegregation that attempted to end the “separate but equal” doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). However, large-scale desegregation did not occur before the mid-1960s, and some resistant school systems did not start implementing credible desegregation plans until the early-1970s. In North Carolina, Robeson County School System and Greensboro City School System received certification for their school plans by the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) in 1970 and 1971, respectively. Not only do these two school systems offer unique trends because of their late HEW approvals, but…

A Movement Towards Common Schooling “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” These are words spoken from Thomas Jefferson who always imagined and dreamed of a state wide school system that benefited the mass of the population. This system would educate children no matter what race, ethnicity, or religion in ways that would help them become well rounded citizens. This dream by Jefferson was soon initiated through the Common School movement built by Horace Mann.…
