Marcus traveled to the U.S. in 1916 to give a lecture tour and raise money to build a school in Jamaica. Marcus moved to New York and found a job as a printer during the day. At night he would speak on the street and it was here where he started to become an African American leader. Marcus and 13 others created the first UNIA section outside Jamaica and started to talk about freedom for blacks. When the East St. Louis Riots broke out, Marcus responded to the riots by giving a speech where he said that the riots were an outrage.
Even though Roosevelt and Wilson were both supportive of the progressive movement, they ran for President under two completely different parties, and this was not their only difference. Woodrow Wilson, the former president of Princeton University, was the son of a minister and was soft-spoken. He was a quiet, intellectual man who had a distinguished education behind him, attending Princeton, then Johns Hopkins University where he earned his PhD in history. Wilson’s political aspirations afforded him a landslide victory in the 1912 election for President with 42 percent of the popular vote. His “New Freedom” platform included lower tariffs, a national income tax, a Federal Reserve System and antitrust laws.

He became Vice President of the student body during his junior year, and moved up to President in his senior year.
Noel Hosmillo Per. 3- Ms. Hawkins The Great Debaters The “The Great Debaters” is a story about a group of debate team of African American College that became the undefeated after they won the national championships over Harvard because of being taught under a brilliant and ambitious debate coach named Melvin Tolson. The character that I liked in the movie is James Farmer, Jr. At a young age, he already went to college and was also able to become a part of the debate team. At first he was afraid of making a public speech in front of a full audience because he gets nervous from time to time. But when it came to the debate against the Harvard, Farmer proved himself to be quite a motivational speaker when it came to debating about civil disobedience.
Consequently, Brandeis graduated high school at the young age of 14. He first attended college in Kentucky but later transferred to Germany when his father had to relocate. He went on to study at Harvard Law School and graduated in 1875 as valedictorian at the age of 20. Brandeis started practicing law in St. Louis, Missouri and after a short time, he moved back to Boston to start a law firm with former Harvard classmate, Samuel Warren. The firm of “Warren and Brandeis” spent much of their time arguing against monopolies and large corporations and advocating for free speech.
The famous painting even elementary school children can associate it with? What caused the declaration, what were the ideas on creating it? Well, in may of 1776 Thomas Jefferson took a “stroll” to Philadelphia on his fancy coach and arrived with two of his slaves. He planned to work in the second continental congress and eventually lead. Many topics were obviously discussed, but one that seems surprising is the fact that only after a year after the Lexington vs. Concord they decided they should still work on patching up the land and relationships.
Rush Limbaugh’s First Address to the Nation (Rhetorical Analysis) On Feb. 28, 2009, Rush Limbaugh gave a speech self-entitled his “First Address to the Nation”. He spoke to all in attendance at the 2009 CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) and the nation as a whole as it was broadcast across the country on live national television. Instead of taking the expected logical approach, Limbaugh appealed more to the emotions of his audience. At the time, the Republican Party was in a kind of despair and didn’t quite know where to go from there (at least that was the feeling).This coming as a result of the then recent presidential election in which Barack Obama had been elected as President of the United States as a Democrat. As far as credentials, knowledge and just about everything else you might need to be a convincing speaker, Rush Limbaugh comes to the table with everything already.
At first, when I saw all the debates of President Obama I thought he is outspoken leader in this year debates and Romney could not even keep up. In my opinion, Romney clearly won Round 1 on the first political debates. I do not know what he Obama was doing out there. He had his head down; he was enduring the debate rather than fighting it. Romney, on the other hand, came in with a campaign.
