Jena 6

I was astounded learning that this happened not to long ago, I mean the Jena 6 we're treated so unfairly even more than the Little Rock 9 since they we're arrested and prosecuted for attempt of murder. The Little Rock kids were just not allowed to enter but they had reienforcements from the US Military itself. But putting differences aside the similarities are just there so much, people in support of the both groups and people who would go out their way and hang lynches in the courtyard of the school. I mean they both also led rallies and support for the black community. Personally I see no difference beside there being less then at Little Rock.

MLK vs. Malcolm X

Alright just imaging them in their own respective corners at a boxing match, MLK wouldn't want to have to fight, yet Malcolm would come straight out swinging his arms, MLK would go in for the hug and accidently bump or hit Malcolm and he would kill MLK for laying a hand on him. Who wins? MLK he wouldn't stoop to fighting or killing and what would society think of Malcolm? Even less then what they already did. To basically summerize this imagery, Malcolm was more of an agressive leader than compared to MLK who would passively fight back for his rights and in society people like the pacifist better than the brute. So MLK to win.

Ideology is quite true

In parts of the world there are still discrimination, and lets say if we take an all white school and someone says people with blue eyes get better scores and by data it's also proven when students find out about it they will feel less for themselves, and ultimately they will see it as more work to do less work by trying to catch up with the blue eyed people. But in our school is has to deal more with where you live than what race you are. So I do believe that this very thing is happening right now.

Concept Guide

MLK & Civil disobedience
MLK was a good organizer for disobedience acts. He planned the boycott of the buses. He could get people to follow him plus all his acts were non violent ones. his way of fighting was to do absolutely nothing but a single task. Not just one person either but a whole community as well. Everyone had a role to play in these movements acts and they had to stick to it.

Civil Rights Goal
To give everyone equal rights. All colored people wanted to treated as equal as the whites did. Stop segregation and not be split up like they are now.

Eisenhower's Role in Little Rock
Governor sent the national guard to stop the Little Rock 9 from entering the school. President heard of this and sent the army to protect them and let them enter the School safely.

Rights of the accused
6th amendment requires that a defendant should have an attorney even if they cant afford them. Criminals have rights until they are thrown into jail. Dont need to answer anything until you have talked to your attorney. Criminals should know their rights before anything.

Brown V. Board of Education
This ignited the Civil Rights Movement. Oliver Brown sued Topeka on behalf of his daughter because she had to travel a distance to get to school on the other side of town when there is a school close by

Chavez and the UFW
Chavez is the voice of the 5 million latinos in the US. He was very well known. He started the Delano Grape Strike which boycotted the picking of grapes and caused a shortage of grapes and wine in California. Chavez was against illegal immigration because it could ruin the chances for the strikes and remove the older harder workers.

FHA and ADA
FHA states that it will not sell/rent land to buyers based on their color, race , or religion. ADA is to place or make facilities for those who are disable.

Sit-ins and protestAt the sit ins it was a form of civil disobediance basically saying no we're not going to let you take out seats because you're white, black, etc.

Timeline Weekly Article

Holocaust survivors

Out of the clips I saw I could see exactly how the Nazi Party did psychological warfare, they allowed a young boy to head to his mom just to see her get killed, The man stated that he is still afraid of the Nazi because of that moment, I can't understand how they feel, and i'm sorry but I wouldn't want to.
My heart goes out to all the survivors that have to deal with those gruesome images.

WWII Antique

This is a old item that was carried by gunners in this time.

This is a Gun cleaning kit, back then in WWII if your gun got wet, it was no use, if it got rusty again it was no use, and especially if it got dirt in it, it would NOT work- what a surprise, now-a-days we can fire guns underwater or trek a desert for days with having to clean it barely. Of course this was significant because without their weapons what else could they fight with? Their words?
I rest my case.

Weekly Article: Sacco & Vanzetti

Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian Anarchist who met in May 1917 (date unspecified) were living in New York were found guilty and put to a Death Sentance. I myself am all for it, Sacco and Vanzetti had too much evidence to their name not to be given the death sentance. If not given the death sentance it would have made the police force look weak. So overral I think that the police force did a great job capturing them and the judge did a even greater job giving them a death sentance.

One major piece of evidence was that they both had eyewitness reports on the both of them. But not just one or two multiple cases laced on them. Sacco's Hat and Car were both found also including ballistics testing. Some people would like to say that the chamber was changed but I suspect they did that just to cover up their names and make at least one of them seem innocent. Vanzetti's also lied about his gun as well, he lied about the price and lied about where he recieved the bullet he also stated he didn't remember the store he bought the gun at.

The judge had Given them a death sentance in the state of Massaschusetts by electric chair a fitting crime for two murderous anarchist who wanted to turn over the goverment and to me it was a good choice upon the judge.

Scope in the Scopes Trial

The Scopes Trial brought up the great topic of evolution but the bigger picture is what we should believe in, the Religious "Creationism" or the Scientific "Evolution". In my honest opinion I choose to be taught the Scientific Evolution because there are many people with different religions, and with different views on religion their creation myth must be different from one another, Scientific Evolution or "Darwin Adaption" to me is something that can be shared world wide and is not changed or manipulated at all

Acrostic Poem

People in the streets
Raving in the clubs
Ordering in restaurants
Having dinner at the table
I just forgot one thing
Booze has been banened
I can't drink socially anymore
They think we're savages
I can't believe it!
Oh wait.. what was that-
Never say the secret of the speakeasy?

Raves have never been so fun
Oh the joy in being young!
Are you playing with your stocks yet?
Really fun stuff those stocks are
I make great money on just assumptions
Never has life been better!
Great times these are, and a great time to be so young!

The Stock Market Crashed?!
What?! How is that possible?!
Even top companies are losing their money?!
No this has to be a April fools prank
There's no way I just went bankrupt
I have a family to feed!
Everything is falling!
Someone help us!

Group Reflections

I sadly was not here of the day of group reflection but I did talk to enough people to understand the comparable aspects of these crime organizations, Usually it starts out with 1 or 2 people with small crimes, I had the privilage to have Bonnie and Clyde who actually started out small just robbing small groceries. And I really do not remember the name of the rest of the Gang members so I sadly have to end here.
