Education advocates, who have been tirelessly fighting for suitable education funding for over a decade now, favor this court ruling.
Last 2009, at the start of the economic recession, the state of Kansas implemented cuts to education budget. The recession had been looked at as the reason of the state to reduce ...

The word segregation is commonly used to describe the obligatory separation of certain ethnic group based on the racial prejudice. The racial segregation in America was viewed as a discriminatory practice that oppressed the African American. This is because it was associated with the consequences such as perpetual urban poverty, lack of affordable houses, and economic oppression of the minority community.

For instance, from the education perspective, the African-American student ...

In the 100 years between the end of the Civil War and the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, African Americans continued to experience the violence and racism that they had endured as slaves. This racism was not only social and political separation, but also legal separation.

Because this separation was established in state and local laws, any resistance by African Americans resulted in arrest and prosecution. However, ...

The black man insists, by whatever means he finds at his disposal, that the white man cease to regard him as an exotic rarity and recognize him as a human being. This is a very charged and difficult moment, for there is a great deal of will power involved in the white man’s naivete.

Seed Dormancy and Pod Dehiscence in Legumes

Introduction
In the natural cycle of life plants germinate when certain prerequisites are met. When that cycle is incorporated into the agricultural process it behooves the farmer to study and determine the most effective agricultural processes to use in order to obtain the most productive planting methods. Some seeds need only to be planted in wet soil to stir them to growth while others require further treatment such as damage to otherwise resistant seed coat or passage through a dormancy period in order to maximize the germination rate.
Seeds developed for agriculture generally fall into the former category, but ...

In response to the Jim Crow laws, the local laws that were enacted to be applicable in the Southern states between 1876 and 1965 supported de jure racial segregation. At this historical moment, every public facility in the South adopted the policy of separate but equal in a practice that deemed inferiority for the African Americans to the white Americans. The inferiors were thus disadvantaged on social, educational and economic grounds. Some of these laws are segregation of public transportation, restaurants, and public schools amongst others. However, these concepts started changing in the early 20th century when the segregation ...

Due to his familiarity and popularity, this author is used to introduce and exemplify profound ideas, as they are found all along his works. In “The Sneetches”, this author postulates that, through capitalism, humans can overcome their differences and live in harmony.

For example most of the blue collar jobs that entail the operation of heavy machinery and other craftsman skills continue to be dominated by men. On ...

ABSTRACT

In his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, Martin Luther King referred to the founding documents and principles of the United States that promised liberty and equality for all, and noted that the country had failed to fulfill these in practice, especially because blacks had suffered centuries of slavery and segregation. His main concern was to secure basic citizenship and voting rights for blacks, and his speaking style was far more like that of a preacher and prophet. A century after slavery was abolished, blacks still faced segregation, discrimination and lack of voting right in many parts of ...

SURVIVAL AND SUBVERSION

In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the Federal government enacted the 13th Amendment freeing the slaves and the 14th Amendment, which granted African Americans citizenship. In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed, which gave black males the right to vote. In a few short years after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, African-American enfranchisement was the law of the land. And yet, in a vast region that had been conquered in a long and bloody war, social change was superficial. In practical terms, there was little difference between slavery and the world in which former slaves lived. Segregation ...

In the article “Don’t Mourn Brown v.

While Williams notes correctly that segregation still exists in American schools, thus supporting his contention that the purpose of the court ruling was not achieved, in other ways the case accomplished many worthy goals albeit more as a by-product of the ...
