Hazel Persuasive Speech

331 Words2 Pages

“N*****, go home! Go back to Africa,” those were the words Hazel screamed as Elizabeth Eckford tried to enter Central High School in 1957. After reviewing the picture from that day, one can tell Hazel was not a fan of Elizabeth nor was Elizabeth a fan of Hazel. As Elizabeth tried walking into school the picture shows her looking straight forward and not acknowledging Hazel’s words and appearance. Soon after this picture was taken, it was spread all over the United States and became one of the most famous Civil Rights photo. To the year 2018, every school kid seems that picture and the horrendous scream Hazel showed. Fast forward to the year 1999 and a great deal of events have occurred. Schools are now integrated. The Fourteenth Amendment

I don’t know all the history, so I’m also curious to know if anyone has ever looked at a less expensive alternative?

  • Summary Of Persuasive Speech By Florence Kelley

    446 Words  | 2 Pages

    In an era of limited rights for women and minorities, social worker Florence Kelley delivers a persuasive speech to a live audience at the Philadelphia convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Through repetition of important details, along with harrowing examples of awful working conditions, the author brings to light the issues of child labor and invites listeners to empathize. She then employs rhetorical questions to deliver a scathing critique of the carelessly permissive labor laws in place. In doing so, she creates a convincing argument that emphasizes the need to change child labor laws in the United States, and beckons the present listener to take action and join her cause.

    Notаbly absent from the opinion, as it was in Plessy, is any citаtion to a Supreme Court cаse that considered whether the prаctice of segregating schools was a violation of the Fourteenth Аmendment. It was an open question for the Court. The Court аdmitted that the precedent to which it cited involved discriminаtion between whites and blacks rаther thаn other rаces. However, the Court found no аppreciable difference here—"the decision is within the discretion of the state in regulating its public schools, and does not conflict with the Fourteenth Аmendment."

  • How Elizabeth Was Portrayed In High School

    557 Words  | 3 Pages

    Elizabeth Eckford’s mistake might have been not using her public figure status as a way to cope and educate people who were also facing the same complications. Unlike the other eight black members of the school, she let her experience in high school lead her to post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. She placed her sons in foster care twice, she had been taking medication and going to therapy to keep her from killing herself, and she became very poor(182-185). Hazel’s mistake was being racist and shouting “Go back to Africa!” in front of the press to grab attention because that capture of the moment became one of the most influential pictures of the civil rights movements.

  • Kansas Persuasive Speech

    363 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am writing on behalf of the 8th Grade Class at Monticello Trails Middle School to persuade you to publish a book for Kansas. Kansas would like a book because 46 out of 50 states do not have a Goodnight Series book and Kansas is one of those 4 states that do not. I believe that Kansas deserves to be included in the Goodnight Series because many people believe that Kansas is a boring state but there are many things that other states do not have that are in Kansas. Kansas has so much to offer to the Goodnight Series because Kansas is home to some of the most iconic things. Kansas is the soccer capital of the United States where men and women play soccer on the Sporting KC team and some on the USA team.

    My wife Clementine decided we need these journals to document what we see on our travels to Oregon next month, however I honestly think they are a waste of time. At least little Brooke enjoys it. On her 6th birthday last year we got her a notebook that she 's been writing in so I think she 's ready for these journals. I remember three years ago when Clementine was 18 we would go on walks around our little town of bloomesdale. I shore do miss those times, but we haven 't gone on many walks since then, because she 's been cross with me about overruling her vote to go to Oregon.

  • The 14th Amendment: Segregation In Schools

    236 Words  | 1 Pages

    The fourteenth amendment was passed on July 28, 1868. Segregation in schools violated the 14th amendment because “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal” and therefore the Supreme Court made schools include whites and colored people in the same schools. Essentially separate but equal was not actually equal so changes were made. It was a difficult transition because many people did not want this. During 1957 the Little Rock

When people see injustice, they are likely to help out others and defend them. However, since Elizabeth is black, very few cared to stand up against the injustice surrounding her during her walk into school. Rarely would whites speak up for a black people.
