Civil Rights Racial discrimination today is something that one would be hard pressed to find. For many African Americans born recently it would be hard to imagine a time of true widespread racial injustice. It is then all the more unbelievable that just decade ago blacks in all parts of the country regardless of their actions were treated unfairly simply because of the hue of their skin. Throughout American history the black community has always struggled with this racism and prejudice, but…

Since the beginning of slavery, African Americans never had any type of rights or freedom. During the Civil Rights era, many African American activist were murdered by the organizations like Klu Klux Klan and other individuals.

Despite these successes, African Americans soon realized that these nonviolent boycotts and litigation processes did little to alter their daily lives and racial violence still ensued. Between…

8. I believe the theory that Bethune’s essay patterns the value added theory because it helps to under the history, applications, and periods of social change.

By implementing anti-segregation and educational public campaigns, the Black Panther Party became important for the development and…

I was excited to see this show since it would be the first time I saw a performance in The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center as a University of Maryland student. When I first walked into the venue, Kogod Theater, I was shocked it was not what I expected (which was a large auditorium performance hall) it was a small dark room. I thought there was no way a performance could…
