Did Lee Harvey act alone? I think Lee Harvey Oswald did act alone on this with the evidence I found online. President JFK was killed Nov. 22, 1963. He was at a parade in Dallas Texas and was riding in an open topped car when he was shot and killed. Lee Oswald was arrested for the death of JFK. It was said that Harvey had a lot of hate for his society and that he would act against it. He had fired three shots from a window of Texas Book Depository. Harvey had messed up in so many different ways…

John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said "I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose." JFK was a president with a plan for the good of the people. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, a 2011 Newsweek Article, and a U.S Army Marine Corps Photograph display this very idea. The authors built upon JFK's legacy with plenty of ethos and pathos by using his effect on…

deteriorating situation in Vietnam. The debate surrounds Johnson, and whether he had choice to make his own decision. Vandemark and Cuddy present the argument that pressure felt from the public and the lack of a popular mandate left Johnson with constrained choice. However, this is countered through the lack of supporting evidence and the stance taken by Halberstam, Logevall and McMaster, historians who all demonstrate the argument that although Johnson felt it was vital to stop the spread of…

Stereotyping Brave Veterans with Harbaugh Do you hold any type of fear towards combat veterans? Are veterans all insane, psychopaths? Well, I have never really looked at veterans as a threat or an innocent character towards society until reading a commentary about them, from one. The commentary was aired on the National Public air, in which navy pilot veteran, Ken Harbaugh argued about the stereotypes of “damaged” veterans. He spoke about how veterans are portrayed through the media in a…

It was not until the 19th century, when Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered by an English archaeologist Howard Carter. This discovery revealed the wealth that defined the Egyptian kingship and the rituals of the burial of Tutankhamun (Sayre Henry M. p 67). Since little was known about Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, there began to be many theories floating around about how he died. He was a young boy who ruled Egypt as a pharaoh for 10 years, until his death at age 19. King Tut’s sudden…

The Harlem Renaissance was a time of empowerment and cultural growth for African Americans and this is reflected in the literature form that era. In the empowering poem, “Hey Black Child” by Useni Perkins the speaker explores the idea of self-empowerment in order to promote the idea of cultural advancement. Perkins uses repetition to convey the message that if young black children remain hopeful and remember that they matter and they can acquire achievement through dedication and education they…

within the United States since the 1860’s. 1968 was the highest expression of the divisiveness throughout the 1960s. One reason for the political shift in 1968 is because of the failure of the liberal policies of the Johnson Administration, in particular the Great Society. President Johnson being a southerner from Texas was viewed by many people on the left as someone who shift to the right on the civil…

However, the impression that there was a drastic shift in the public opinion after the Tet Offensive and its negative reporting is viewed as superficial and rejected by many historians such as Hallin, Hammond and Schmitz. Even though the public opinion polls of Lyndon Johnson's have significantly dropped after Tet, the public opinion polls of people who thought that the intervention in Vietnam was a mistake in April 1968 indicated now only 40%, this is only a difference of 4% after Tet, hence…
