However, it has often been said of Henry, 'No man has ascended to the throne with such a lack of financial experience and resources as Henry VII.'

In 1881, he founded the Tuskegee Institute to teach African-Americans exactly how to study, how to work hard and intelligently (in order to produce better results than the White businesses of the day), and how to have respect for themselves and others, regardless of
Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby requires a basic understanding of the social classes; this includes their status, which pertains to their wealth, leading to their popularity among true peers. The narrator, Nick Carraway, personally realized that even with all the wealth and all the popularity in the world, discrimination and prejudice due to social status would never completely fade away.

Douglass speaks of the joy of working to earn wages that go to no one other than himself. He breaks free of the chains of slavery and joins the abolitionist movement as an eloquent speaker and writer.

In Harper Lee’s eye-opening novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee establishes how powerful a code of honor is in society, so much so that people will forgo intuition to adhere to their code. Many of the characters in the novel posses a certain code of honor that dictates both decisions and actions. Scout, under the influence of her father Atticus, lives by a very moral based code. In the previous scenes up to and throughout the Tom Robinson trial, Scout’s innocence and confusion about the racism and prejudice are solely based on her code.
That’s why I believe that the role of a medicinal historian is very important because their job is to connect historical identity within generations, which gives individuals a sense of who they really are and where they came from. When untold stories are shared, the absent becomes visible and history is learned. This can be a powerful way of correcting or changing the way individuals live as centuries go by. Slavery for African Americans was definitely unjust, and although I’ve never been discriminated for the color of my skin, I have experienced slavery, discrimination, and bondage at the age of only
