Jim Crow Laws Blacks in the 1950s, living in central Alabama, lived a life completely controlled…

“I do not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. This statement is credited to Voltaire, a French writer in the mid 1700s. Freedom of speech is a divine right, a human right, Without freedom of speech, opinions, positive and negative, will be suppressed, which will allot more power to people in positions of power. Freedom of speech is a natural right, it is protected by the First Amendment and it can not be taken away. Many people “agree’ with freedom…

If the bus filled…

The moment the atlas instructor told us we were going to do an exercise with a ball and we had to have it go to everyone's hands.
