Coretta Scoot King

When my proffesor Welch asked the class if we knew who Coretta Scoot was, I didnt know, but after reading the article that my proffesor gave me I am very glad I ascertain who she was. Coretta was a person that was very auxiliary,she avow anything she thought and had no diffidence. She was Martin Luthers King wife and had 4 kids. Coretta and Martin share the same ideas and thoughts but after he was assassinated she didnt change,she keep on with her efficacy,she was very brave like Rosa Parks both womans knew what they wanted and how to do it no matter what,They knew how to fight for rights, Mrs. King continued to serve the cause of justice and human rights; her travels took her throughout the world on goodwill missions to Africa, Latin America, Europe and Asia. In 1983, she marked the 20th Anniversary of the historic March on Washington, by leading a gathering of more than 800 human rights organizations, the Coalition of Conscience, in the largest demonstration the capital city had seen up to that time. Mrs. King turned over leadership of the Center to her son, Dexter Scott King, in 1995. She remained active in the causes of racial and economic justice, and in her remaining years devoted much of her energy to AIDS education and curbing gun violence. Although she died in 2006 at the age of 78, she remains an inspirational figure to men and women around the world.
I am very proud of Coretta Scoot King for everything she did and for everyone she help. She was a very intelligent woman and well appreciated by millions of people now days.
RIP
CORRETA SCOOT KING

Rosa Parks

The article about Rosa Parks was very interesting because some of the events that it mentions such as how the the polices were involved in terrorizing black communities and how bad white people threated them broke my hearth because color dosen't matter.But am gald that in the first decade of the 20th century,the article mentions Black Americans united to reclaim their lost civil rights. Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. Rosa Parks "Mother of the Civil Rights Movements" was born during a very difficult era, An era that could be defined as the apartheid. She was the granddaughter of former slaves and the daughter of James McCauley, a carpenter, and Leona McCauley, a rural schoolteacher. Back then black americans lived with anguish because of the constant abuse from the white people, not only in public transportation, in theaters, in stores,in restaurants and in bathrooms, public parks and libraries also. They were treated inhumanely. The abhor of the white people against Black Americans were the reason for many hate crimes against them. Ku Klux Klan memebers and unfair police officials destroyed theirs homes unfairly prosecuting them and treating them with intense ferocity. White people’s arrogance went far beyond color,they could not abstruse that they were human as well. This was a period of lots of humiliation also called “nadir period”. This was the environment in which Rosa Parks was born and raised. Not even those conditions stopped her for being one of the most courageous women of her time. She very well deserves the name of the Mother of the Civil rights Movement. She married Raymond Rosa Parks, a barber, with whom she became active in Montgomery's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Rosa Parks was a very brave woman, I thank her alot for what she did. It was well done.

September 11

September 11, Wow I think about it and it was the scariest and saddest day of my life and of other citizens also. The moments and days that the news were announced and we heard helicopters flying around ,Millions of people were in panic in U.S.A . This was an event that changed the whole United States when it ocurred. It was based on terrorist attacks against American civilians. Thousands of people died, and millions were affected. Today September 11, 5 years after this horrable event and experience we feel all the pain and suffer every September 11. I still remember how the news surprised me and how tears ran down my face because I have family in New York and in New Jersey, but every year when September 11 gets closer we can feel the fear in the air, We think that other attack could occur again. I still live with don't live the anxiety of not knowing if we are secure or not because I never though that something like that could happend to United States and it did. Everytime I think about it it shocks me.
RIP to all the innocent people that died Sept.11

Best Jobs in America

After reading the Best Jobs in America article, I found out that deciding between so many alternatives can be stressful and one has so many that we have to make sure the one we decide is not just because is one of "The Best Jobs in America" but because is something we like doing and if its giving us good money well ,good, But according to the article the second best job in America is being a college professor also known as postsecondary teachers. I think this is one of the most important type of teacher because is who really introduces students to the real world. Also because teachers are the ones who helps students to get into what could be their life job and introduce them to what they have to do in order to achive that goal or dream of what they want to be and teachers are ment to teach so they'll basically teach them and prepared them. According to the article the 10 year job growth has been of 31.39% which I think should increase because this job is one of the keys to have better education in this world.

Generation X

Generation X was an article that was a very interesting document to read. It gave a lot of information which I didnt know anything about . It was really helpful at the time of increasing my knowledge on social issues and generations because now days students get bored of reading the same topics which mades you feel like sleeping and can't consentrate about what you'r reading.Articles like this are the ones that I like because they keep you up and makes you want to know more. Generation X was an expounded article.
