An interesting news report that I read was about the inauguration of the first black mayor of the city of Chicago. At the time he was known as the Paramount Politician. This year was 1983, and his name was Harold L. Washington known for his strong speech.

This is one of the things that he wanted to do to try to change the city of Chicago.

Daniel Hale Williams was an astonishing man and accomplished many things during his lifetime. Williams opened the first interracial hospital. Williams set up his own particular practice in Chicago's South Side and taught anatomy at his institute of matriculation, likewise turning into the first African-American doctor to work for the city's road railroad framework. Because of the segregation of the day, African-American citizens were still banished from being admitted to doctor's facilities and black specialists were declined staff positions. In May 1891, Williams opened Provident Hospital and Training School for Nurses, the country's first doctor's facility with a nursing and assistant program that had a racially coordinated staff.

Ulysses S. Grant, The American President Series: The 18th President, 1869-1977 is a primary source from a book written by Josiah Bunting III. From the end of the Civil War and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln five days later, and until his own death in 1855, Ulysses S. Grant was the first in the hearts of his countrymen. He was saluted as a savior of the Union. Elected president by a humble majority in1868, reelected four years later; his second term was full of argument, disappointment, and “scandal”, he maintained a certain hold on peoples affections and full part of their gratitude. For the most part of his public development in 1862 through 1865, no one really knew what to make of Grant.

After the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, African Americans were still being treated unjustly and needed direction. While many of them were enslaved and all of them were segregated, they yearned for a way to achieve equality. Booker T. Washington is the most influential African American leader during the civil rights era. Born in 1856 to a white man and a slave cook, he had equality flowing through his veins, but his leadership and status took time to develop. Upon slavery’s end, his family moved to West Virginia where he became a salt packer and coal miner.

Weislogel 1 Ben Weislogel Mrs. Crays English 9/10 28 April 2017 Atticus, the most Moral of Maycomb In Harper Lee's classic novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is faced with moral dilemmas and deals with each with the utmost integrity. When Scout asks why Atticus is defending a colored man, he replies "For a number of reasons, the main one is, if I didn't, I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't represent this country in the legislature, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again"(75). He believed that not doing what was right would forfeit any moral authority he has ever had. A good example of Atticus using moral authority to correct others is when Jem had mutilated Mrs. Dubose's flowers, Atticus forced Jem to visit her and apologize(104).
