Ku Klux Klan Jim Crow Laws
789 words
Although it was socially acceptable for the Blues
musicians to write, compose and produce their
music, it was frowned upon, until the late 1950
's, that the teenage generation be exposed to
black Blues musicians. However, white Blues
musicians were another story. The distribution of
Blues music was eased into the public by using
white covers of black artists (Covers and Dances).
Ironically enough, the white covers of these black
artists music never climbed as high on the
top-seller list as the o...

Hate Crime Sexual Orientation

Booker T Washington W E B Dubois

The struggle for Discrimination Discrimination The
struggle for social and economic equality of Black
people in America has been long and slow. It is
sometimes amazing that any progress has been made
in the racial equality arena at all; every
tentative step forward seems to be diluted by
losses elsewhere. For every Stacey Koons that is
convicted, there seems to be a Texaco executive
waiting to send Blacks back to the past.
Throughout the struggle for equal rights, there

After viewing the film To Kill A Mocking Bird, I
found it to be a very interesting and an
informative piece of work. To see how people lived
in the years during the great depression and how
society was structured was enlightening. The Finch
family lived a modest lifestyle, as compared to
other families during that time. The movie centers
around the Finch family and their day to day life.
From the beginning it was obvious that the
children in the family, Scout and Jem, were very
courteous towards...
