Continue For Racial Equality In America

There are a few ways that Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois differ in their strivings for racial equality. The reason that these men differ in their views are pretty apparent and go back to the separate arguments that Jane Addams and Elizabeth Cady Stanton produced for women's rights in the 19th century. Jane Addams made some compromises in her push for women's suffrage to make her argument easier to swallow and take a small step towards equality. Stanton puts out her whole argument for total equality which made her argument hard for her generation to accept, but got all the problems on the table.

Paragraph 3 - Chapter 3: A Stirring Passion for Equality This chapter is largely about the Fifteenth Amendment and how it was not being enforced in the south. During the 1940 presidential elections, Parks wanted to vote for Roosevelt because this would be Roosevelt's third term, if he won. She also wanted to vote for Roosevelt because she wanted Eleanor Roosevelt to be the first lady. Parks admired Eleanor’s courage for standing up for African-American singers.

It is evident that The Declaration document did not have a direct positive impact to the black struggle for justice, as it did not mention anything about slaves being entitled to those rights. However, The Declaration of Independence was an inspirational document for slave rebellions. For example, one of the first rebellions was organized in 1800 by a blacksmith Gabriel Prosser and a slave preacher Martin Prosser. Prosser brothers opposed slavery using the language of the Declaration of Independence citing the natural rights of men. (history.com, 2009)

It takes a great deal of courage to fight for something that’s bigger than you. Activity 3: Imagine what the world would be like if the very few brave souls who live in it chose not to stand up against the evil that, in most circumstances, outweighs the good. Only a handful of people are brave enough to set aside their fears and perform acts that benefit the greater good. Works of fiction call these people superheroes, we simply call them heroes. Martin Luther

Two score and 13 years ago people with colored skin were being segregated for everyday activities like drinking from a water fountain and going to school. Martin Luther King and many others were tired of not getting the treatment they were promised as a whole, so Martin Luther King wrote his famous “I have a Dream” speech, to address the problem that was sweeping the nation. He wanted to persuade the nation to treat Black people with equality and respect. The black population was not going to rest until they received their rights that they were promised when Abraham Lincoln said the “Emancipation Proclamation” . King has a dream and has faith that one day everyone will be equal, everyone will have rights, and that there will be everlasting

Throughout the entire time period, whites continued to be opposed to Reconstruction for their own personal reasonings, and they kept resisting any attempt by the federal government to give equality to all African Americans. Once Reconstruction came to an end, there was then a time period of segregation towards blacks, leading to Jim Crow laws and a loss of focus toward African American civil rights. Since there were two world wars in a 50 year time period, the focus towards these civil rights was majorly sidetracked. In today’s society there is still believed to be problems with white supremacy and prejudice towards blacks. There will always be people who won’t ever believe in equality, but the rights that are reserved today are a major step

I was taken away from my home in Jamaica and brought here on a ship and was renamed a Jamaican-American. I was ten years old. I have seen my people tried to run from the Europeans. They would be killed for running away if the Europeans found them. Many Jamaican-Americans tried to rebel against the Europeans but they had weapons and horses.

I have a dream shows how Martin Luther King Jr. is fighting for equality and symbolizing what it means to him. Martin Luther King tells how African Americans are treated. King describes how they want to be treated and how they intend to do so. King shows his beliefs and encourages people to follow in what he is speaking telling what he believes will happen if they do.

I am 16 years old and I work in the fields to supply money for my family. We have had our tough times as a family, we had to migrate to the United States to find better opportunities. Taking parts of Mexico, the United States affirmed to negotiate with Mexico. Due to the Treaty of Mexico and the United States, it was said that Mexican Americans would have equality in the United States. Once we came to California in 1948, I noticed many had the same idea in coming to the United States based on the treaty.

Equality for all people of different races continues to be a big issue in American Society. Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech had a tremendous impact and encouraged many Americans to push for equal rights and Justice in America. Although many people believe that Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream is something that is possible and achievable in modern day society due to the recognition of discrimination and gradual acceptance of all races in society, I believe that the complete equality of all people will never be totally achieved because of human’s history of inequality, along with human’s natural selfish, and controlling trait. History has always shown that equality and acceptance has been a continuing problem throughout history.

America is being torn apart by the differences in our skin color in a time when all should be treated equally. One step towards equality is for people to be judged on their character not on their race. This topic is all over the media with the movement, “Black Lives Matter”. Whites and Blacks have had differences for several years now and it will continue for many more, unless we do something to change these attitudes. Behind every skin tone is a person.
