Lafayette

of her friend Mrs. Paul Mellon for the task of redesigning the President’s Rose Garden, making it the ideal place to greet important visitors and large groups. Once the first lady learned of the scheduled demolition of historic homes that lined Lafayette Square just across the street from the White House, she stepped in and devised a new plan to preserve the historical identity of the famous square and stop them from building new government office buildings in their place. She also championed…

I went to Sterling Surgical Hospital for an abdominal ultrasound. The Ultrasound Technologist name is Shannon Risher. During the ultrasound I asked Shannon if I could talk to her right after we were done with my ultrasound. Shannon said, “She would be glad to!” Shannon is 41 years old from Metairie, Louisiana. She looked normal on the outside, but when she told me what happened it changed my perceptions about her. During 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit, she so happened to be the Ultrasound…

The Carbohydrate Fermentation Test measured the ability of the bacteria to ferment glucose and mannitol carbohydrate and produce gas. Majority of microorganisms obtain energy from either aerobic or anaerobic respiration, or through fermentation. The different types of fermentation pathways used by bacteria can aid in differentiating them among groups or species of bacteria because each pathway depends on the complement of enzymes available for the cell (Department of Biological Sciences, 2015).…

Identifying Information Friday, January 29, 2016, I attended one of the agency’s Developmental Centers located at Lafayette High school. From 9:30 a.m. until 12:15 p.m., I was able to interact with children and meet new staff members. There were three staff members present who were providing care to four boys and two girls.

There are several times in the movie where we see Shola being raped by her master. This is one for of abuse many slave women endured. Slaves were also put in head and hand holds for their…

Cajun Gypsy Growing up in a melting pot of culture, Lafayette has shown me how diverse and beautiful cultural identity can be. Even walking out of your front door can offer a blend of credentials required to be a part of a certain culture. This city, and surrounding areas, emit vibrant displays of what makes a person unique. From festivals celebrating food, to gatherings called specifically for international cultural appreciation, it is difficult to find another place so rich in culture. Living…

formed a coordinating committee to organize the freedom riders. The freedom riders wanted to attempt to ride buses through seven southern states until they reached New Orleans. Some leaders of this campaign were Diane Nash, John Lewis, and Bernard Lafayette. At first they had little to no conflict going through North Carolina and Virginia but when they got to South Carolina Lewis and a few other riders were attacked by white citizens. Despite the…

French officers who served in the war came home and felt inspired by the New World; more specifically by the Declaration of Independence (Hunt et al. 12). Marquis de Lafayette offered a proposal for a document of rights in France around six months after What is the Third Estate? was written. Drawing from Thomas Jefferson’s ideas, Lafayette said, “The merit of rights consists in truth and precision; it should say what everyone knows, what everyone feels” (Doc. 11). Duke Mathieu De Montmorency…

In collaboration these three separate events and festivals all together as they developed separately have now developed in to the big festival itself Festival Acadiens et Créole (“Festival Acadiens”). These events allowed for the festival to grow into something that celebrates all the aspects of the Cajun Créole culture. Rather than it just being a smaller event broken up into a day things it came together to a five-day event. More non-local people are more likely to come in for a festival that…

Moral courage is the courage to take an action for moral reasons despite the risk of adverse consequences. The characters that have great moral courage are Atticus Finch, Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, and Aurthur or Boo Radley. Atticus displayed the moral courage when he willingly defended Tom Robinson, a black man, despite the ruling ridicule he would receive. Atticus displayed the courage because he knew going in that he would be ridiculed…
