After the Civil War, African Americans were forced to deal with great discrimination. At the same time, two of the most influential black leaders of the time, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, attempted to improve African Americans’ situations in two very different ways. Though these men had very different philosophies, they shared a mutual goal: gaining equality and civil rights for blacks. Booker T. Washington was born a slave and emancipated at nine years old.

Bagirrburra “Ingham-belonging to” The focus of this essay is a song namely “Bagirrburra” created in modern times by Ashley Saltner and Jai Cummings in collaboration with Troy Wyles, an elder of Warrgamay clan. Warrgamay people have lived in areas surrounding Ingham and the Herbert River for centuries (Bottoms 2013, p. 192).

institution of slavery; but it is not too late to call for reparations for the survivors of the racism that followed in the footsteps of slavery until the 1960s, with the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Our country is denying justice to the people who still remember the day they saw the police murder someone and get away with it; or saw a black person hanging from a tree for having been lynched by a white mob. Money does not erase memories that are burned in the minds of survivors of…

normal, natural, and therefore superior to the beliefs and principles of others. This sociological concept, called “ethnocentrism,” has been present throughout human existence and has caused both growth within and conflict between various groups of people. It has also caused reflection and reevaluation of one’s own culture based on interaction and experiences with another.

Most of the poverty-stricken people of America are persons…

To summarize this book would be like asking someone their life story and hoping you don’t miss a beat. I read this book twice to be sure I caught every small detail that Firoozeh Dumas went through.

consciously and subconsciously, in their settling of the New World. Despite the differences in Bradford and Smith’s approaches to recounting their histories of settling, both Bradford and Smith demonstrate through their prose and dealings with the Native peoples that religion was the most important aspect in all of their decisions; and in turn illuminate religion to be of the greatest values of European…

collected even when people are saying and thinking bad things about him. The town is talking trash because he is defending a black man. This shows his sangfroid and composure because most people would crack under that pressure. Instead he is seemingly unbothered, and actually has to deal with his children’s response and keep them in control. “My folks said your daddy was a disgrace an ' that nigger oughta hang from the water tank" (102). This is just one example of the way people talked about…
