MLK & Civil disobedience
- MILK 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.
Power of the "MOB"
-The mob at Central High school was purely made of all whites. They seem to be there to threaten the Little Rock 9 to go elsewhere. They didnt want their kids in the same class let alone in the same school. If any colored person was around the mob would attack them. A black would just be minding his own business and the mob would still go after them. If the person was white and they were protesting with the blacks then they would get attacked too.
Plessy V. Fergusan vs. Brown V. Board of education
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.
Purpose of Filibuster
Sit-in and other protest

Go To Work !
I know its easy to just copy someone but what do you gain. I believe that hard work gets you the medal. Getting to live the American Dream is a job as well. Higher class family get all what they want while the average has to work for it. Nothing in this world comes easy even if you are rich or come from a good family that provides. The American Dream is in everyone's reach no matter how far it may be. In A Class Divided it seemed that the kids claimed as superior did better and the inferior ones didnt. I think even if they claim you inferior you can still aim for the best you can. Dont left one thing set you back just because someone say this. Those inferiors can still make it to the top even if it takes time and a little hard work. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Let the music fill your mind!
Does rap influence teens ? Yes somewhat in positive and negative. I think depending on the song itself. Like some rappers rap about the getting the "gwap"(money) and girl plus what they would do with them. There's also the rappers that keep it in a perfect point of view like some of positives of being rich besides the fact that you get money or the girl.
Can the music make you think in a certain way? Somewhat. You can hear what the rapper is trying to get at but the facts that can push you into a gang is different. Like before you can see the out looks of life instead of aiming to get yourself inot trouble with the law.
Can the style of music make a difference or can it change you? Definitely ! You can be leaning to one end of the music and thats the way people view you. Techno somewhat has no lyrics but the beat and the vibe makes you feel good. It can make a total situation flip around for the better. The style can make a huge difference on your decision and your emotions play a role on this.

Concept 10
McCarthyism impact on Society
-Somewhat form of th Salem Witch trials that targeted people who spoke or showed any un-american behaviors. Big officials were taken down and charged as communist. From movie actors to the secretary of defense were targets. If one person was targeted and that person said someone's name then they also assume that they were communist as well. The Hollywood Blacklist was big because the director or the movie itself was communist propaganda to them.
Communist "Witch Hunt" and the impact on those accused
-Targeted for being un-american behaviors. The accused , their reputations were ruined because just being accused people thought that you really were a communist even when you are released.
Space Race impact on government policies
-In 1957, after the launch of the Spuntnik I into space the U.S directed large amounts of money into education to outclass the Soviets
Cold War of U.S Gov't and Public Mindset
-Cold War was a not necessarily a war but more a competition and it moved to space. Americans thought they were the far in technology. They felt vunerable because the Soviets launched a rocket that circled the moon.America devoted to themselves that they would come out on the top in both the Cold War and the race to the out world known as space.
Suburbs , Automobile and roads
-People wanted to have the perfect home with white fences, two cars and the ideal loving family. That is the American Dream. The suburbs were being built by Levitt, who built about 150 houses per week. All the homes had a similar but slight different design. People left the cities and moved there to their dream houses but they had to commute to the city everyday so new roads were built. Highways were built and to collect money back they place tolls. Also, people wanted to travel around in their cars. They headed to popular places like Disney world.
Baby Boom
-After the War, the men returned and population began to climb in America. From 1946-1960 with the peak being between 1951-1955, babies were being born like crazy. A baby was born every 7 secs in America. Insane, right ? About 4.5 million babies a year were born.
Urban - Suburban pattern
-There was a pattern amongst the areas depending the families income. The business ditrict or the city areas was the lowest in the pattern. Around the outside of the city was the suburbs or middle class limited area. The farthest was the higher class.
GI Bill
Expansion of middle class
-Companies wanted to rake in the cash so they dropped the prices of products. Also, they made the ads seem like you need that product badly. People bought things like crazy,even though they dont need it. As if the products were gold and they jumped for it.

Story In The Paint
Walking through town on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone in town is ready for the local ball game. I unfortunately was not going. In the distance I hear "IT'S GAME TIME!" The town is in a uproar running to the park in excitement. The game was about to the start. I see people on the outside off the fence. I thought to myself "it's just a game like any other." I hear the uproar of the crowd again. "HOME RUN!!", yells the crowd. I try to see but the crowd is blocking the view of the game. There was no way i could see but i found a small hole in the fence. That hole in the fence opened my eyes to the great sport of Baseball. The swing of the bat and snap that you hear when the ball connects with the bat. It was intense. I discovered a whole need game from a hole in a fence.
