Margaret Garner

about Margaret really caught my eye. Margaret Garner was born into slavery on June 4, 1834, as a mulatto (mixed race). Margaret’s mother did not marry a white man, she was raped by her owner and became pregnant, which was common back then so the slave owners could have more slaves without buying them. Margaret was now on the plantation of John Pollard Gaines who might have been her father. Margaret grew up as a house slave and continued to be one throughout her whole slave life. While Margaret was on this plantation she go to go shopping and on trips with her owner(blackpast.org). Later in 1849…

In the novel ‘Beloved’, Morrison successfully mananges to create a credible ghost character. Despite the fact that the novel is based upon a very real history, the fictitious parts of the novel almost seem as shockingly real as the factual parts. In CHAPTER, Morrison shows that we learn more about Beloved through the eyes of Paul D. We as readers already trust Paul D so as Morrison voices her opions of Beloved through Paul D it helps us to acknowledge that Beloved is more than just a ghost. Paul…

In “Beloved”, author Toni Morrison uses these reoccuring mentionings of milk that are always followed by a description or dialogue of Sethes need to nurture her child. Sethe, first, refers to it as “stolen” when speaking to Paul D about what happened in the barn with “schoolteacher.” It is brought up again, when nurturing Denver after the killing of Beloved. As well as later in the novel, when Sethe could no longer bear milk in her breast, but instead provides warm glasses of milk for Denver…

On July 17, 2004, Eric Garner, an African American man, died in Staten Island, New York City after a New York Police officer used chokehold for around 20 seconds while arresting him. The NYC Medical examiner's officer concluded the cause of Garner’s death was because of his poor health and was not because of the chokehold that the officer had used. The police officer approached Garner because of the suspicion of tax evasion, that Garner was selling cigarettes without tax. Garner told the officer…

1) In 1985, the United States Supreme Court decided Tennessee V. Garner, that the court held that a police officer may not use deadly force to apprised a fleeing felon who does not pose a “significant threat of death or series physical injury to the officer or others. This was because of Edward Garner was a juvenile (15 years old) who burglarized a home stealing $10.00 and a purse. He jumped over the backyard fence to escape after police ordered him to halt, at which point police shot him in the…

this case changed police practices to stay compliant with the law. In 1974, two members of the Memphis Police Department were responding to burglary in progress call; the neighbor reported that she heard glass breaking as someone broke into the home next door (Blume, 1984). Upon investigation, one of the officers witnessed someone fleeing from the back of the house, he spotted the suspect crouching beside a fence thirty to forty meters away (Blume, 1984). Consequently, the officer identified…

Garner and Graham v. Conner was a different story. In the case of Tennessee v. Garner police officers were wrong in using deadly force. The suspect had no weapons on him, the suspect was a suspected felon meaning that he might have not been the suspect at all, the victim ignore the police officer order and continue to climb the wall to scape. The officer shot him and killed him. I believe that the police officer could of have use his Taser gun and gave him an electric charged to get him down,…

Elton Hymon a Memphis, TN police officer was chasing after Edward Garner who allegedly burglarized someone's home. The chase ended after officer Hymon shot Garner in the back of his head to prevent him from jumping over a fence. Officer Hymon stated that he saw no evidence that Garner was armed. Edward Garner was not a threat to officer Hymon at the time he shot him in the back of the head and that’s why there is an issue within this case. Edward father argued that since his son did not pose as…

It was important for Katharine Dexter because she was married to a man with schizophrenia and since there’s a chance that the kids have this mental illness too, even though there wasn’t a physical connection between her and her husband, but since she knew there were people out there that were at risk, she wanted to help them. Also she wanted women have control over their bodies and so they can prevent unplanned pregnancy. For Margaret Sanger, after the death of Sadie Sachs, she was so sad and…
