The one female speaker was Josephine Baker, who introduced several "Negro Women Fighters for Freedom," including Rosa Parks. Dr. King gave his speech on Wednesday the 28th, and the rest is history…

During the civil war, Lincoln had declared the final form of the Emancipation Proclamation. This had freed the slaves in areas that were not under Union control as of January 1, 1863. This announcement was an important turning point since the war was now a contest not only about saving the Union but also directly or indirectly…

Abortion, in its nature, is considered to be a hugely controversial subject, with pro and anti choice sides levelling various reasons at each other as to why abortion is, or is not, ok. In this essay I intend to discuss whether or not abortion is an individual choice or economic necessity, based off the theories and reasoning of Mary Wollstonecraft, J.S Mill and Karl Marx, and from each authors perspective and what we can perhaps deduce about their thoughts. The phrase 'politics of abortion'…

In our generation, media is a huge part of our everyday lives. The media has a powerful influence on society 's viewpoint on events and even on what we may think of certain individuals.

Pinsker argued, in his book Autoemancipation, anti-Semitism was so deeply embedded in European society that no matter what the laws said about emancipation, Jews would never be treated as equal. To end their perpetually alien status, Jews would not wait for Western society to change; they had to seize their own destiny and establish an independent Jewish state (Hourani 558). Hence the climate of nineteenth-century European nationalism was an accelerating factor for Jews to unite under the…

life in two: the citizen, namely the political subject or the citizen with rights and duties and the bourgeois, member of the civil society interested only in his private affairs (Marx 53). The solution proposed by Marx is the conceit of “human emancipation,” which can only be attained when the real man, or rather the bourgeois, will incorporate in himself the citizen; hence, becoming part of a whole human community, when finally men will be equal among each…

Courage - Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln fought for the equality of all people. He was a proponent of women and in 1836 fought for their right to vote (Stewart 1). Lincoln displayed great moral courage throughout his presidency and life, as did the Jewish population throughout the Holocaust. Both Lincoln and the Jews suffered a similar fate with each being killed prematurely. Lincoln was assassinated and many of the Jews were killed in the concentration camps. Lincoln's courage has…

Upon reading the chapter Women as a Minority Group I was surprised to learn that women as an oppressed group were being compared to the racial inequalities of Blacks. Of course I’ve always known the importance of the Nineteenth Amendment and how hard women fought for the right to vote but I never would have attributed those barriers to that of the African American suffrage.
