many civil rights cases for the working Indian people of South Africa. One of the first shown was his direct hit of racism. He was an upper class male and was thrown out of a train compartment because it was reserved for “whites only.” This brought to Gandhi’s attention that South African laws were biased against Indians. Because of these happenings he began a non-violent protest in South Africa. This was opposition to the rule of the South African government. Gandhi combatted the new law…

Martin Luther King beautifully begins his letter by stating “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. Although, the white powers of Birmingham were not happy regarding the nonviolent demonstrations that were taking place. As white political leaders refused to engage in negotiations, the community of African Americans was left no other choice. Direct action is a form of negotiation, with a community that has refused to acknowledge the issues thus far. King states this as he reflects…

The United States throughout its history has allowed people of different races, cultures, ethnic, and religious backgrounds to become citizens, resulting in a strong and pluralistic society unmatched in the world. But there have been cases of discrimination and exclusion in our past. An example of this exclusion is the and the Jews were not allowed in to the US during World War 2.

It is very true that many of Flannery O’Connor’s characters “prepare their own ends;” O’Connor ensures the reader that they always get what they deserve, regardless of how “mean” or cruel of an author it seems to make her appear to be. O’Connor’s willingness to punish those who are rude, malicious, or simply obnoxious is never ending and not universally despised by everyone. It is arguable that most of her characters are not very likable, and it is hard to pick a favorite or choose a side when…

The period of the civil rights movement was from 1954-1968. The civil rights movement was a movement to secure equal rights and opportunities for African Americans. When the book was released, it was in the midst of the civil rights movement. I believe that is why the book was so popular and became a best seller. Unintentionally, “To kill a mockingbird” was related to the civil rights movement. So basically, that’s saying not only were black people treated unfairly in the 1930s but also in the…

Inner-city poverty as discussed in the video is the result of decades of racial segregation that has led to concentrated communities of African Americans. White families that once lived in the inner-city could move out into more dispersed housing where new job opportunities were being made. These openings however were never directed toward black families as moving out of the inner-city for them was much more unlikely and expensive namely because the government was refusing to help them…

When I think of a leader, some prominent name come about: Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, Nelson Mandela, and Malala Yousafzai. These leaders have impeccable integrity and arduous competence, also, they’re tirelessly passionate and inspiringly visionary. My personal definition of leadership is: the ability to empower others to unify through the credibility of a person. The credibility of a leader is the vital reason for their followers; it is based on their integrity, competence, passion,…
