We celebrate his work every year on the third Monday of January. It wasn’t until the year 2000 that all 50 states officially observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The last states to join up where Arizona in 1992, New Hampshire in 1999, and Utah in 2000. The holiday itself was originally signed into federal law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, with the first MLK holiday on January 20, 1986 (20). On this day we celebrate how the work of one single man changed the outcome of millions of others.

Arbell reported that in 1744, while there were almost 2100 slaves in Curacao, only 310 of them belonged to Jewish owners. This was amazing in the fact that Jews numbered half the population on Curacao. In 1765, the number of slaves increased to over 5500 and only 860 of those were owned by Jews. Jewish slaves also, did not work on Saturdays or Sundays. Slaves to Jews were said to be “blessed by God,” because of the humane treatment they were given.
Standing at a generous 5’10 and weighing 220 pounds, he looks more like Prince Fielder back in his vegetarian days when he came to Spring Training significantly sized-down. Oddly enough, regardless of his teddy-bear physique, he’s managed to average 11 stolen bases and 25 doubles in each of his last three seasons in the minor leagues. "Everyone always says I don't look like a middle infielder, but I'm pretty quick on my feet." - Wheeler in a recent interview with JSonline.
Following the "Brown vs. board of education" decision an incident known as the "Little Rock Crisis" occurred. In Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957, Governor Orval Faubus defied a federal court order to admit nine black students to Central High School, and president Eisenhower was forced to send in troops to enforce desegregation. Although most desegregations were not as serious as Little Rock, the desegregation process did proceed-slowly. Schools were desegregated only in theory, because neighborhoods were segregated by race and by having segregated neighborhoods would only lead to segregated schools. This event was very crucial in civil rights history because when the guard was called in, it was the first time that the federal government was used to protect African Americans.

If I want to teach a topic, I should try to learn as much as I can about it and never stop learning Spanish, this is also one of my goals. Another thing I could learn more about, are teaching methods, and classroom management. I feel that a reason I don’t know too much about teaching is because I haven’t taken enough education classes. I should take more classes on those subjects to improve my subjects. The final thing that I think I need to approve on is
Hannah Cristiano WE 4 11/20/13 To many, Alaska is known as the “Last Frontier” but to me Alaska is the “First Frontier”. As states go in the US, it is extremely behind on the times. People are harassed for being openly gay, many immigrants are jobless because their native language isn’t English, and people know no bounds when it comes to using racial slurs. I come from a small little town with barely 4000 people. Out of these 4000 almost all are white.
She mentioned that Rosa’s adopted home of Detroit “is the most segregated metropolitan area in the nation.” She also noted that segregation in schools was worsening. Ellis said that it’s hard for people to see the harm in today’s “softer form of segregation” because it doesn’t leave physical evidence with its devastation. She implied that the psychological, economical and social harm of today’s segregation was equally damaging as it was 53 years ago. She stated that today’s form of segregation is far from the brotherhood that Rosa Parks tried to
He believes not everyone should go to college to pursue a major just because they want to make a lot of money. Murray states something that it is true, ‘Young people with okay-but-not-great academic ability who are thinking about whether to go after a B.A. need to consider the competition they will face after they graduate.’(Murray,2008). If all people want to get into the business, finance, and/or management world once graduated they might have a rough time. There are certain skills needed to be successful, even when giving orders to other people.
