In his letter, King defended the peaceful demonstrations that he and the black communities across America were taking part in. He disproves that the uprising is untimely, saying that black people have waited for over 340 years for their rights (3), and that “freedom is never voluntarily given” (2). Being accused of breaking laws, King rebuts that the “parading without permit law” is an unjust law used to deny black citizens of their basic right to have peaceful assemblies(7). Similarly, the segregation laws are unjust laws used to oppress the black. He used the example of how everything Hitler did in Germany was legal yet what Hungarian freedom fighters did was not.
The Duties of the Caliphs were well organized and up front which Helped Islam become strong and well established (Doc E). The duties of these leaders were to define the meaning of faith, serve as a judge, guard the lands of Islam, and to wage war on anyone who misjudged the faith or did not believe. Many people who had been under control from the Byzantines and Persians saw this as a new way out and took it, After the battle at al-Yarmuk the Byzantine followers decided that they liked the Islam rule better than their own and decided to switch religions because of this new political
In conclusion, we see that there were multiple controversial events leading up to the American Revolution and the publication of the Declaration of Independence. The different perspectives help to really, truly understand the motives of doing what each character did personally to impact the events leading up to peace and independence of the colonies. Personally, I thought that this story was interesting because I’ve always wanted to have a better understanding of events in US History. Jeff Shaara helped me have a better understanding of the motives and thought of each character impacting everything from their time to even now. Without them, we wouldn’t be here today learning and getting a better understanding of our ancestors and how we came
Did Rosa Parks was choose to be the one they need? No Rosa Park was already involved in many ways in the civil rights movement and her action was a really good excuse or a great subject that all the civil right movement was waiting for to put a heard the movement for the freedom. This makes me think about what going on in some African countries today when all the population stands up for fight for democratize and freedom. Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria didn’t choose a day for the cause but they have been waiting for it and that day came to them by a student movement who just claimed to have a better situation in their campus from their government and quick that movement become the population movement for freedom. Loeb said “The myth of Parks as a lone activist reinforces a notion that anyone who takes a committed public stand, or at least an effective one, has to be larger-than life figure-someone with more time, energy, courage, vision or knowledge than any normal person could ever possess.” This belief tells as to day the
Use of technology in the civil rights campaign is also a key turning point for the campaign as during the 60’s further advancements were made by national broadcasts showing ill treatment of activist in places such as Birmingham and Selma in Alabama, expanding further support for the Civil rights campaign internationally. James Farmer claimed “we felt we could count on the racists of the South to create a crisis so that the federal Government would be compelled to enforce the law” Along with this, Kings motivational ‘I have a dream’ speech in Washington DC 1963 can be argued to be the key factor as it leads to the Civil Rights Act of 1965. King has a significant role in the civil
Despite the brutal and ruthless tactics used by the state troopers and possemen, newscasters continued to film every detail. 3. Most of the attackers were not aware of the power of TV cameras that were placed right behind them, at the heart of the assault. 4. The attack was aired on all of the major news stations, and the entire nation was able to witness the effects of the racism and inequality of the south.
Another thing that you can do is to be on media, making sure the news agency is there to record you demonstrations and what you have to say about the whole racial issue. This method is affective because it will let people know what is currently going on, and it is better for people to see than hear. This method was used during the CRM movement and it was affective because most of the African American had TV back then, so they
The conflict quickly rose between the two and resulted in the murders of massacre. On December 10, 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army entered the village of El Mozote, after a crash with guerrillas in the area. The soldiers of the Salvadoran army were military trained by the United States. The soldiers of the army gathered all members of the city, along with anyone seeking refuge in the town. The civilians of El Mozote were imprisoned without resistance by the Atlacati Battalion.
The program was based directly off of the American constitiuion and simply stated what The Panthers wanted.

Larry Gould In times of danger, the media is very useful when it comes to informing people about the dangers of this world. The people should not listen to the mainstream media if they are informing us about a different political movements or organization. For example black lives matter is a movement that is against racism. Black lives matter does not just fight for racism, they fight for power and equality.
