    Wilma Rudolph Accomplishments

    She had travelled to Philadelphia for a National AAU Track Meet, and became overconfident. She was shocked when she did not win and returned home with “shame of losing.” She felt embarrassed of losing and felt as if she had let herself down. It was at that point she realized that the success she could obtain through track and field was in her hands, which only motivated her to train harder. Once qualifying for the Olympic team, she also experienced some psychological challenges. She was such a good runner at such a young age that she would hold back at Olympic practices in order to keep the other girls on the team from becoming jealous of her. She felt very torn, whether or not to excel at practice and work hard or hold on to friendships. She finally got over her fear of losing friends over hard work and decided to run for herself. One of her biggest psychological upsets, however, was after the 1956 Olympics when she did not qualify for the finals in the 200 meter dash. She could not eat or sleep for days and felt as though she let down the entire United States. She was determined that the next day she would run harder and make up for that. Fortunately, by the end of the Olympics, her 400 meter relay team had surprisingly placed third and came back home with a bronze…

    Summary: The New Jim Crow

    One such initiative that has resulted because of her work is the Campaign to End the New Jim Crow (CENJC). This initiative was formed in Harlem, New York during October of 2011 and is a coalition of several racial injustice prevention groups. The group’s mission is to raise awareness and about mass incarceration and institutional racism, with the goal of building a grassroots, bottom-up movement that challenges the racist ideologies that have helped produce these conditions (CENJC, 2014). The groups vision is to foster a "movement that is committed to ending mass incarceration entirely and to push for a fundamental shift from a punitive model to a healing and transformative model of justice--a model that does not criminalize people for public health problems like drug addiction and does not criminalize poverty" (CENJC, 2014). Since it’s beginning, the group has developed and implemented several outreach programs, committed to advocacy and uncovered numerous incidents of racial injustice within the local area, pursuing their investigation and demanding responsibility (CENJC, 2014). While there is much work to do, the CENJC is collaborating with similar groups throughout the country to address and remedy the disease of mass incarceration and racial justice…

    Nobel Peace Leymah

    Leymah Roberta Gbowee is a Liberian peace activist, who was born in 1972 of February 1st, responsible for leading a women 's peace movement that brought an end to the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. When Leymah finished the school and was planning to study medicine, when the country began a protracted civil war. She was living with her parents and two of her three sisters in Monrovia, when the First Liberian Civil War erupted in 1989. “As the war subsided.... I learned about a program run by UNICEF,... training people to be social workers who would then counsel those traumatized by war,” wrote Gbowee in her 2011 memoir, Mighty Be Our Powers. She did a three-month training, which led her to be aware of her own abuse at the hands of the father of her two young children, son Joshua "Nuku" and daughter Amber. Searching for peace and sustenance for her family, Leymah went to Ghana where she and her growing family lived as virtually homeless refugees and almost starved. One night, falling asleep in the WIPNET office, Leymah awoke from a dream where God had told her, “Gather the women and pray for peace!” With the help of two co-workers, she guessed that this dream meant to act upon this war. And Leymah decided: if men are willing to fight endlessly, then stop this madness can only female. She started to involve the Liberian Muslim and Christian women to fight for an end of protracted civil war in the country. She also started to be active in advocating women 's participation in elections and strengthening their role in political life. The peace movement quickly gained momentum. It was joined by both Muslim and Christian. During the joint prayers and demonstrations, they were wearing white shirts - a symbol of peace.…
