The West Memphis three murders are known all over the world. Three little boys brutally murdered, three high school boys wrongly accused, and sentenced to life behind bars, or death row. That’s all people know, they’re oblivious to the facts that show they weren’t the killers for the young boys. The accused boys were; Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley. At the time they were teenagers, but they were judged by the way they dressed in black, who they hung out with, and the music they listened to. They called the boys “goth” and took advantage of that to blame someone. The seventeen boy, Jessie, was proved to be mentally special. But the officials still took Jessie’s confession, and that’s all they had against him. How was he

In 1910, Branch Rickey coached a college team with one black player. That player, Charley Thomas, was refused a hotel room with the team and had to sleep on a cot in Mr. Rickey’s room. Charley was emotionally distressed and he could not sleep. He tried to scratch off the skin of his own hands, wishing he were white, so he would feel as good as anybody. 35 years later, Branch Rickey still “…had never forgotten the agony of that black player” and wanted everyone to be treated equally. (804) By 1943 Branch Rickey was the owner of the Dodgers and used persuasive speech to convince the club directors to be the “... pioneer in bringing blacks to baseball.” (804) Branch Rickey had to find a player “... who could take abuse, name calling, rejection

Today I am writing to you to discuss the topic of Reconstruction. I believe it should continue and here are my reasons why. First of all the 13th Amendment was ratified about a decade and it granted all of the slaves freedom. Because of this the Freedman 's Bureau was passed which helped assist slaves with their financial place, communication with family, education, etc. Also the fourteenth amendment was ratified in 1868 which granted all persons born in the US citizenship. The most recent amendment that has been ratified was the 15th amendment which granted black men the right to vote. Though our nation has made progress I believe it hasn’t made enough progress. I believe that if we extend reconstruction women should also have the right to

Detroit’s republican congressman, Robert Clancy, in his persuasive speech, “Un-America Bill”, elaborates on the racism of Quota Act of 1921 additionally, consequently, the patriotic acts of immigrants.

Throughout America's history, the design of our currency has been changed quite a few times for reasons such as, avoiding counterfeit threats or to instill and show our American pride. In 2020, the U.S. will be changing the face of the $10 bill to a woman's face. The year 2020 is significant because it is the 100th year anniversary of when women gained the right to vote. You could say there are many women that deserve this honor, but I believe that Lucy Stone should be the one featured on the bill because of her many contributions to the evolution of American democracy.

I have never done anything like this . . . publish a book - nor have I wanted to. I am about to make information public that in my view is world-changing – and making this public is perhaps the last thing I want to do. This has a lot to do with the powers that be, as well as not wanting to become a part of the endless conversation – but nothing is private these days . . . and apparently I can no longer avoid the conversation. I wonder who you are – the handful of readers who now find this information before you. In truth, this is a note in a bottle, cast out into the infinite in hope of reaching just one or two or three of you who will understand – and hopefully be of a mind and capability to do something about the almost impossible situation we now find ourselves in.
