Wal-Mart Shareholders meeting is like a high school pep rally, several adults in a stadium, chanting, cheering, shouting, to show their support to Wal-Mart. The shareholders’ meeting was about the market and sales of the company. Shareholders gloated on wealth and size of Wal-Mart compared to other reasonably sized companies like IBM, Hewitt Packer, Dell, and Microsoft. This type of shareholders’ meeting is different from other companies because of how powerful Wal-Mart is in the business and economy world. At a typical shareholders meeting at any other company they would go over strategies, sales rates, marketing, and future outcome of the company in an organized manner.

Tragedy in Dallas By Jonathan Barrett It was a warm, clear day in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. It was a perfect day for President John F. Kennedy and Governor John Connally of Texas to visit the city of Dallas. As they rolled down the streets of Dallas, the President and the Governor waved to the massive crowd of people who lined the sides of the streets. Earlier, the President had stopped the motorcade twice: once to shake hands with a little girl and a second time to greet a Catholic nun and her group of school children. Although Dallas had a murder rate twice the national average and the city was covered in posters denouncing the President, things seemed normal that day.
Four Oaks Pavilion 818 Oak Lane, Hartville NC 00000 Dale Crompton, Facilities Manager Phone: 000-555-5644 July 18. 0000 City Council 444 East Town Street Hartville, NC 00000 Subject: The issues, problems, and possible solutions Dear Sheri Clark, and the City Council Members: Today I write to you in regards to the issues Four Oaks Pavilion currently faces.

The issues of noise, crowd pollution, damaged areas, and traffic congestion (which effect residents within roughly 3 miles of the Pavilion) must be dealt with accordingly and with haste.

By Wendy Smith (Reproduced by permission from the January-February 1996 issue of Civilization magazine) For days, Harlem residents strolling anywhere between Lexington Avenue and Broadway from 125th to 140th Streets had seen the word "MACBETH" stenciled in glowing paint at every corner. New York's African-American community had been discussing the new production by the Federal Theater Project's Negro Unit with mingled pride and anxiety for months, and by opening night on April 14, 1936, anticipation had reached a fever pitch. At 6:30 p.m., 10,000 people stood as close as they could come to the Lafayette Theatre on Seventh Avenue near 131st Street, jamming the avenue for 10 blocks and halting northbound traffic for more than an hour. Spotlights swept the crowd as mounted policemen strove to keep the entrance to the theater open for the arriving ticket holders, an integrated group of "Harlemites in ermine, orchids and gardenias, Broadwayites in mufti," as the New York World-Telegram noted the next day. Every one of the Lafayette's 1,223 seats was taken; scalpers were

The original goal of Cover the Night, as introduced in the viral KONY 2012 video, was to make Joseph Kony famous. That happened in a matter of days thanks to millions of people around the world who shared the KONY 2012 films.

THE BURDEN OF REGISTERING TO VOTE I arrived at the offices of We-Count on a rainy Saturday afternoon eager to begin registering Americans to vote. Upon entering the offices I was able to take in what We-Count was all about. Right to vote, stop racism, and keep the dream alive posters littered the walls, targeting the Hispanic community. A scent of old paper, cigarettes and mint was in the air. It was clear to me, that the Hispanic community in the area surrounding the We-Count office was primarily Mexican.
