    Unlike the SAS’ willingness to take up such an issue just to support the new surge of Black Power, the mostly white group, the SDS, cautiously picked up the issue to oppose the authority of Columbia University. The SDS, however, did support the Civil Rights Movement and, right after the assassination of Martin Luther King stated that they opposed construction of the gymnasium to, “honor the fallen civil rights activist” (Bradley 5). Bradley credibility is backed by the many other works he uses throughout his article. He uses other authors to back his argument that SAS wouldn’t have been as affective if they didn’t segregate from the SDS.

    355 Words  | 2 Pages

The gold rush undoubtedly pressured whites to compete with both new and old opponents, beginning with

Heroes of the game have become types of folk heroes within the borders of the United States of America, and citizens from all backgrounds have come to venues from coast to coast in order to enjoy the game. The sports’ professional participants, as expected, have directly reflected racial standards of the country at any given time; the sport was dominated by whites until the color barrier was broken, ushering in new participants of different descents. The involvement of African Americans in Major League Baseball is extremely vital for the sport, and is a topic that has been somewhat addressed by the league’s hierarchy. Despite those efforts to increase African American participation, however, the black people of America have recently seen their representation in
