I agree with Jordan Maxwell, I agree with him because the evidence for this quote can be found back then during the times of slavery. When slavery was an everyday thing, slaves were not allowed to learn and go to school, they were supposed to be deprived of these things that the white folks would get for a reason. The reason is that whenever someone becomes educated, they know what should and shouldn’t frighten them, the know the extent of one's ability, and once they began to teach themselves they became unstoppable and were able to receive independence for…

James Gall

MEN WANTED FOR COASTAL DEFENCE WORK. The headline could be found on newspapers everywhere around Sydney. It was January 1941, when James Gall and a group of workmates first saw the call to action. “What do you reckon, boys?” James didn’t answer, but made his decision quickly, barely considering his father, Frank James Gall who had fought in World War I, left with nothing but wounds and horrors from his time in the service. Nonetheless, after a quick brekky of vegemite on toast, James hopped aboard trains and trams, leaving Watson’s Bay to go to the Victoria Barracks to seek enlistment.…

On the date of April 3, 1964, Malcolm X delivered a speech to the American public called, The Ballot or the Bullet. Throughout the speech, African-Americans were encouraged to stand up for their rights and vote. He also states that in the event of non-compliance for equality from the government, that they might need to take matters into their own hands and take up the use of arms. This came after Malcolm separated from his decade long position as spokesman for the Nation of Islam. The main goal of the speech was to motivate African-Americans to join the Civil Rights Movement and stop disfranchisement.In the beginning of Malcolms speech he states the fact that he is a Muslim though, he would not talk about religion as it was not important and would simply amount to another means of African-American separation. He continued to say that instead, emphasis would lie on an overall common ground for all African-Americans. He aimed to gain a common understanding that African-Americans should stick together regardless of religion.The name of the speech comes from the ballot to vote and the bullet to use arms if necessary, but it is also the reference of how he related a ballot and a bullet. He said, A ballot is like a bullet. You don't throw your ballots until you see a target, and if that target is not within your reach, keep your ballot in your pocket. He explained the ballot of 1964 as being the time, "When all of the white political crooks will be right back in your and my community ... with their false promises which they don't intend to keep." He further stated that the democrats lied about supporting the civil rights bill and had no real intentions of passing it, that they were simply playing games and using African-Americans as bait.Essentially in a summary of the ballot or the bullet, Malcolm stated that African-Americans must use the ballot or the bullet, they must defend themselves and push for equality, black nationalism and human rights. After voting by 137 top…

He says that's literature is losing it value and art and language are no longer appreciated. The new pop culture is taking over and the new movies and music no longer have any real meaning to them, it's just about success and making money. Value is something has been cast aside.

James Lawson

Despite efforts to garner legislative equality for African Americans after the Civil War, the actual implementation of change did not occur for some time later. The 13th and 14th Amendments, which ended slavery and granted the rights of citizenship to black Americans, were often ineffectual in promoting racial justice. Throughout the following decades, race relations struggled against the remnants of Jim Crow to the forefront of American social issues, but as an ethnic minority blacks continued to be denied many basic rights. By the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, the advent of war combined with the Student Movement as well as the heightened social and economic climate to influence the greatest Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century. Some, like the Black Panthers and Malcolm X’s Nation of Islam, agitated for racial equality with extremism and violence, but others, like Martin Luther King Junior, used the practice of civil disobedience to rally public support. As one of the leading theoreticians behind nonviolent direct action and an influential religious figure, James Lawson was fundamental to the unification and development of the Civil Rights movement. Without him the struggle for black rights would have lacked its clear strategy and moral purpose with which to combat discrimination. From Ohio to Tennessee, Lawson was an integral part of many organizations at every level including the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the Nashville Christian Leadership Council (Limbo, 159). With the principles of nonviolence as his tools, Lawson used the Nashville sit-in movement to help end segregation by mobilizing and inspiring the masses in the pursuit of greater racial equality.…
