Greensboro

In recent years, law enforcement agencies across the country have been pressured to be more transparent and increase officer accountability. The most prominent manner in which law enforcement agencies have attempted to meet these demands is through the implementation of body-worn cameras. Few studies have been conducted in the recent history of body-worn cameras on law enforcement officers. There are still many questions regarding body-worn camera utilization that must be addressed to obtain…

them with a dog again. Racial profiling does not just occur with minorities; it occurs with people of all ages. Believe it or not, racial profiling can occur with older people like your parents or grandparents. A prime example of this occurred in Greensboro with two older black men, Mr. Phillips and Mr.Spears, who had a white police officer pull beside and look at them then eased back behind them and flashed his lights.

ready? First, before school starts I always go shopping. I love shopping because I always go with my Nana! We either go to the Greensboro Mall or the Christiansburg Mall or both!

Although a great deal of violence during the Civil Rights Movement, the Lunch Counter Sit-Ins prove no violence was needed to make a stand. Other protests were started to make a stand with no violence. These protests shaped the way of the Civil Rights Movement. One protest in particular, the Greensboro Lunch Counter…

Now that former slaves were no longer controlled by their owner’s whip, white supremacists had to find alternative means to keep African Americans suppressed. One method of subjugation was making it difficult for African Americans to leave agriculture and seek out other employment. For example, since white women worked in cotton mills, African American men…

then imprisoned and charged for violating a segregation law. This further originated in the 13-month Montgomery Bus Boycott and brought an early triumph for the Civil Rights development. Another example of non-violent direct action includes the Greensboro Sit-Ins which occurred on February 1st, 1960.

In the beginning of his essay, Gladwell alludes to the sit-in movement in Greensboro, North Carolina. The movement spread from just four young black college student to about seventy thousand students across the South. Gladwell stresses that these sit-ins occurred "without e-mail, texting, Facebook, or Twitter" (413). He…
