Jim Crow laws

Search and seizure laws have been around since the beginning of the United States of America, and have a very controversial history.Many deem the way the laws are practiced unconstitutional, and oppressive to minorities, while others think they are just and need to be carried out to stop crime.

Without Sanctuary Reflection My first reaction to the narration wasn’t as shocking as I thought. It was horrifying to see the pictures and to also hear a detailed description with research behind it.

I believe that the media doesn’t see the harmful stigmas that it is placing on a whole group of people and the consequences that it has for them.

The KKK terrorized African Americans even after they gained legal equal rights in America out of…

The 1920’s was a period of growth in urban america. A decade where wealth grew for the wealthy, but so did poverty among the lower working class. It was a decade of changes and clashes and there were many contradictions in values and ways. The 1920’s experienced a great deal of inequality among social classes. It represents a clash of values because it illustrates how the 1920’s was supposed to be a time of growth but in actuality was a time of poverty for many, a clash of values between urban…
