First off, the governor closed all the schools in Little Rock, so no one could attend. Not only were all the students greatly affected, but the families of the Little Rock Nine had the more major punishments. Many of them were quickly fired from their jobs to reduce more conflicts with business. Once the schools were finally opened back up, each of the nine students were separated throughout the different schools, which caused even more awareness that schools needed to become desegregated. The impact that the Little Rock Nine had on today is the fact schools are all officially desegregated.
I attend St Peter Catholic Secondary School in Peterborough Ontario. There are two main reasons why I would be thrilled and honoured to have Count Me In come to my school. The first is personal for me.
Both these novels show the constant struggles that people have had to go through to survive. In Persepolis the people of Iran began to protest the Shah by demonstrating. Eventually the Shah fought back by ordering the police to burn down the Rex Cinema, where there were 400 people. “The doors had been locked from the outside a few minutes before the fire and they forbade people to rescue those locked inside, and then they attacked them.” (page 14).
This past week of class has been my first exposure to American Sign Language and Deaf culture. What I have found most surprising and interesting in Deaf culture is how the community follows a more collectivist mentality. A stark contrast to the American culture I have experienced where the individual is often prioritized. Reading about Andrew Foster's commitment to expanding education for Deaf children worldwide exemplified how deeply rooted this “duty to the group” (p. viii) is within Deaf culture. The Deaf Nation video we viewed at the end of the class also solidified for me how Deaf culture isn't constrained by borders but a community which spans the entire world.

Most Hated Lifesaver of All Time This product awakens disgruntled students at untimely hours across campuses and schools across the nation. There should be one of these in each and every building in America. It is so necessary that everyone have one that there are laws in all 50 states requiring that one of these be installed and tested regularly.
Ok I am ready were on our ways to my first day of school the first thing that happens is that all the white kids start to surround our car. I Think I can see the state guard blocking the entrance of the high school. I got out and all the mean words that the whites yelled at where really hurtful, but I ignored all of them, I said to myself that I cam to learn and have good education for a good career, I will ignore all the haters. We all walked to the entrance and the state guard was here they had guns and knives, as soon as we tried going inside and the stopped us as said "the governor send us to stop any black women or men to enter this school". We waited outside waiting for someone to help us and let us in but no one came.
Berkley, Jack Weinberg, cautioned his fellow classmates about conforming to their parent’s way of thinking in the iconic 1964 quote: “Don’t Trust Anyone Over Thirty!” (Kosc). This state of mind carried on into many of Berkeley's many protests and riots. One of the school’s most widespread controversy was the “People’s Park”. Students preferred to turn a vacant campus lot into a park for everyone of all races, genders, and religions to enjoy on campus, and when the land was to made to be a parking garage, 85% of the student body fought to keep the park in a week-long battle.
After a federal court order had come down mandating the integration of Alabama’s school system. In the aftermath of the bombing, thousands of angry black protesters gathered at the scene of the bombing. When Governor Wallace sent police and state troopers to break the protests up, violence broke out across the city; a number of protesters were arrested, and two young African American men were killed (one by police) before the National Guard was called in to restore order. King later spoke before 8,000 people at the funeral for three of the girls (the family of the fourth girl held a smaller private service), fueling the public outrage now mounting across the
This consisted of black students living in Soweto - a town that was hugely affected by apartheid, fighting for better education. These students believed that they were not getting the best education because of their skin color and decided to take a stance. They started strikes in schools, which took an affect on lessons, causing them to stop classes, and pupils also went on hunger strikes. This went on for a day or so before police started to fight back with brute force, releasing tear gas and bullets. The actions of the police cost the lives of over 600 innocent
Today, Gallaudet University is pretty well known around the United States, but it didn 't start out that way. It all began in 1856 when Amos Kendall became the guardian of some blind and deaf children who were not properly cared for. He set up a school and house for them, and then Edward Gallaudet took on from there as the school superintendent. The next year, Congress permitted the school to start.
Several days later the Little Rock nine “returned back to the school, and entered through the side door so they can avoid the crowd of rowdy students and the press.” That same day they were found by more students whom “violently attacked them and innocent bystanders.” In 1958 the first African American, Ernest Green, graduated Little Rock Central High School, and the governor got “reelected and shut down all schools” in Little Rock, Arkansas because he did not want to integrate the schools of Little Rock, Arkansas. The legacy of The Little Rock Nine has set the bar for African American students who has to fight for equality at predominantly whites schools today.
As a result all of Kent State’s communications broke down. The shootings caused massive protests, both violent and nonviolent. The protests caused 450 other campuses around the nation to close down. One specific group of protesters at New York University hung a banner outside of a school window that said “They Can’t Kill Us All”. On May 8th at the University of Mexico, eleven people were bayoneted after trying to confront protesters at the school.
Several students were suspended for the following actions. A student was told to leave the auditorium because he was acting obnoxious. The principal got involved and ordered him out. He then refused to leave, leaving him to be suspended. Another student assaulted a police officer.
Little Rock Nine enrolled the beginning of the day the Arkansas National Guard 's turned away the students. The first day of school the African American cars were pelted with rocks along with death threats screamed at the students. These nine students made history that later became a big part of the Civil Rights Movement. Experiences that the students went through on their first day of school is something that no person should ever experience. One student went through having acid was thrown in her face, the other pushed down the stairs.
