Nicole Grossbaum22 Mrs. Ottone Honors English II 14 June 2017 Black and White Thinking in a Black and White Society I never noticed the horrors I was surrounded by during my childhood. I never noticed the segregation, abuse and diversity that surrounded me: “Growing up in Mississippi, almost every family I knew had a black woman working in their house—cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the white children.

Imagine being a 28-year-old, NFL star, out of Rutgers University, a household name especially in Baltimore. Rushing for 6,000+ yards, with just over 1,000 carries for eight short seasons.

Christopher Columbus came ashore in 1492 and claimed the land, but generations of later Americans took it from many Native Americans already living in America. A similar situation occurred with beloved Dodger Stadium. Home to many championships, and Hall of Famers, Dodger Stadium has become one of the best-known baseball parks in the nation due to it being the third oldest ball.

motorization of the material business in England prompted an enormous interest for American cotton, a southern yield whose creation was lamentably restricted by the trouble of expelling the seeds from crude cotton strands by hand.
