It seems as if the movement is over, yet there are still subtle inequalities all around in education and the workforce. Black people still have the problem of stereotyping and racial profiling. Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was gunned down and murdered by a neighbor as he walked home from the store in February 2012 because of racial profiling (Martin).
As a teenager, Jackson had already suffered through the deaths of his mother, father, two brothers, and also spent time as a prisoner of the British during the Revolution (Hollitz, 194-95). It’s a miracle that Jackson even made it to his adulthood, let alone to lead a democratic movement to the top of American politics. Given the choice, we would never want anyone to go through a torturous childhood like Jackson did. Nevertheless, his childhood experiences helped him mold into exactly the type of person the democrats needed. In the 18th century, the common man of America needed someone in politics who they could relate to.

When it was all over, Capone had won his victory for Cicero, but at a price that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Quite a bit has been written and rumored about Al Capone in magazine and newspaper articles, movies, and books that is completely false.

I get the fact that the statistics show nearly 686,000 stops in one year and that's way, way, way up from 2002 where it was just over 97,000 but I feel that it's working. It's keeping guns off the street. It's kept crime down to numbers that this city never imagined and, unfortunately, sometimes it takes things like stop and frisk to make that a reality” (Huffington post). People want to feel safe, if you do not feel safe in a community you move.
