Rosa Parks was an extraordinary women inside and out. She showed wonderful character and marvelous bravery through what she did and how she compelled herself. Rosa Parks, in my opinion, opened the doors to end segregation from people with different skin tones. She was brave and calm even in the midst of everything that was happening; she never showed anger or hatred in the bus or the police car ride. Rosa Parks not only represented African-Americans, she also represented women. Rosa Parks first…

I will have to say that I am quite disturbed by this story. My interpretation of Stavrogin is that he is a man that was raised with everything handed to him so he had no appreciation of anything. Rule and decency did not apply to him because he could not feel the reasoning behind it. His written confection begins with listing his static and showing his wealth with no feeling behind anything, “I, Nikolai Stavrogin, a retired army officer, lived in Petersburg in 186-, leading a life of dissipation…

The “militant nonviolence” strategy preached by King became a powerful forced in the movement. King believed that if the fight for civil rights was fought peacefully, that it would be looked upon favorably by other races.…

With the topic of feminism, Lucy Stone urged and justified women’s as well as black’s rights through her talent of preaching and helped establish the American Woman Suffrage Organization. She handled her own life as an example for women’s rights by marrying Henry B. Blackwell and neglecting the customary marriage vows of a woman’s obedience to her husband. She also retained her maiden name and therefore her individuality, which was unheard of in the 1850s (“Stone, Lucy”). Thus, various models…

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impartial because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all…” I strongly agree with this quote said by Martin Luther King Jr. Violence is a very concerning issue in the past, present and certainly in the film “Do The Right Thing”. It is my personal belief that you cannot achieve anything by violence and that it only brings major unwanted consequences into our lives. The film “Do The Right Thing”…

The WPC (Women 's Political Council ) was “organized…to fight racial segregation practiced by White women as well as the oppressive White male power structure in Montgomery” (Barnet 207). Two of its original founders were college professors Mary Burke and Jo Anne Robinson, who worked tirelessly to challenge the discrimination of black women (Barnet ?). These leaders met with civic leaders and looked to expand their base by “inviting white women (from) the LWV to their meetings at the church…
