Lowndes County

I was present in the office Tuesday and Thursday 8:30am- 4pm and Friday 8am-4pm with a one-hour lunch each day, totaling thirteen hours. Throughout the week, I continued to file and archive Lowndes County closed cases. Tuesday I was tasked with administrative duties because there was no court. Nonetheless, on Thursday, I had was able to attend the calendar call. During that time, the attorneys give the judge updates on the status of their cases. It was interesting to see another judge handle…

My half brother, Michael, has always been a very independent individual. Throughout the years, he played the role as big brother and as a dad, since mine hadn’t been around often and Michael is nine years older than I am. Because we were so close, he was never known as my half-brother, only as my older brother. Generally speaking, growing up with a drug addict father, like Michael did, his life would be more difficult since he had an addictive personality already. Teenage years were the…

to properly define the term. Only days following his first public cry for “Black Power,” CBS reporters cross-examined Carmichael after having broadcasted a short piece on SNCC’s organizing efforts in Lowndes County, Alabama that had culminated in the foundation of an independent party in that county. While the two reporters addressed Carmichael in a critical but paternalistic manner were largely unmoved by his answers, they pressed him hard on one particular aspect–his stance on the question of…

populations that integrate with it, have also been reported. In a specimen described by Livezey 1949 from Walker County, Texas, 11 of 17 crossbands were not joined mid dorsally, while on one side three of the crossbands were fused together longitudinally to form a continuous undulating band, surmounted above by a dark stripe that was 2–2.5 scales wide. In another specimen, from Lowndes County, Alabama, the first three crossbands were complete, followed by a dark stripe that ran down either side…

Statistics are unreliable because providers are not screening patients, inadequate surveillance systems, and lack of reporting (Ozolins, D’Elios, Lowndes, & Unemo, 2013). The CDC uses the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) to provide surveys to the public. Using these survey’s the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services can provide health education programs and do statistical studies on diseases…

Four key figures emerged from the Black Power Movement who promoted the following three tenets: self-defense, self-determination and self-respect. Martin Luther King Jr. accelerated the Black Power movement through self-determination and self-respect, but decelerated the process in terms of self-defense because of his nonviolent perspective. Malcom X on the other hand accelerated all three tenets through Black Nationalism. More particularly Malcom X encouraged individualism, separatism through…

As you can see, The Black Panthers had many intelligent people who influenced them, it wasn’t the Civil Rights Movement itself. The panthers made a Ten-Point platform that…

during her college education majored in African American studies. DuVernay not only had a personal connection to the context of the film as an African American woman, but also to the general region of Selma. DuVernay frequently vacationed in Lowndes county, a township next to Selma as child. Hence, she developed a personal connection to the history and people of the region. According to DuVernay, it was important for her to make a film which depicted the people of Selma and the struggle they…

But it wasn’t until October of 1966 that the B.P.’s were born. The name of the party was inspired by the Freedom Organization of Lowndes County (LCFO), Alabama. Their campaign symbol was a panther and what the panther stood for was determination, freedom, and courage. And that was how the B.P.’s got their name. Nonetheless, Newton, the main visionary of the group, formulated the B.P.’s Ten-Point Platform and Program which basically expressed the major needs and wants of the Party, as well as for…
