annitation

In 1951 a class action suit was filed against the Board of Education of the city of Topeka, Kansas in the U.S District Court for the District of Kansas. The plaintiffs were thirteen Topeka parents on benefit of their 20 children. The suit called for the School District to reverse its policy of racial segregation. Several schools were ran under an 1897 Kansas law which permitted ( but did not require) districts to maintain separate school facilities for blacks and whites. One of these schools was Little Rock Central High School.

Second Annitation

On June 7, 1892, Homer Plessy boarded a car of the East Louisiana Railroad that was designated by whites for use by white patrons only. Although Plessy was one-eighth black and seven-eighths white, under Louisiana state law he was classified as an African-American, and thus required to sit in the "colored" car. When Plessy refused to leave the white car and move to the colored car, he was arrested and jailed. In his case, Homer Adolph Plessy v. The State of Louisiana, Plessy argued that the East Louisiana Railroad had denied him his constitutional rights under the 13th and 14th Amendments of the United States. However, the judge presiding over his case, John Howard Furguson ruled that Louisiana had the right to regulate railroad companies as long as they operated within state boundaries. Plessy sought a writ of prohibition.

Plessy took it to the where he again found an unreceptive ear, as the state Supreme Court upheld Judge Ferguson's ruling. Undaunted, Plessy appealed to the United States Supreme Court in 1896. Two legal briefs were submitted on Plessy's behalf.

First annitation

Most Dangerous Game Paragraph

Ms. Melville
English

LIBERTY

I think that Zaroff values Liberty over justice. One reason is that he is a hunter. He shows he values liberty by hunting people and not caring about their feelings or their lives. He also shows that he values liberty by letting the dogs loose when he can't find his victim. Another reason is that he feels that people of a lower class and are weak and should only be used to hunt. He says " a simple fellow but, I'm afraid like all his race he is a bit of a savage". He hunts sailors that are poor. Lastly he shows that he values liberty because he Kills people and doesn't have any bad feelings about his actions. He shows when he says " Life is for the strong to be lived by the strong, if need be taken by the strong". He shows he has no remorse because after he kills the black man he says he made stupid choices and was quite boring. These are the reasons I think Zaroff vales liberty.

NHD Topic Selection

I chose Little Rock Nine for my NHD project because I am interested in the Little Rock Nine time period. Little Rock Nine is important to history because without their effort it would have been a little bit harder for blacks to get inter-racial schools. For this weeks research I found an articl at (www.nps.gov/nr/travel/civilrights/ar1.htm) I will read and summarize it for next week.

Presidential Election

I think that Barack Obama would be a great president because he addresses a main problem in America's society, which is abortionin the right way. I think that a woman should have the choice wether or not they want to have a child or not , and Barak obama thinks the same way.
On the other hand John McCain disagrees totaly, he is not for abortion.

Why I Chose My School

I chose my school because I want to study law. I also chose to come here because I want to get a better understanding of today's government. I also love history. I chose it because I thaught it would be challenging. I also chose this school because I want take mock trial and I hear they have a good mock trial team.
