Washington Irving is a man who is questioned for being misogynistic or not. I believe Washington Irving wasn’t to be blamed for how the main characters are treated in his stories.

Despite the fact that he was skinner and weaker than other kids‚ Washington had to work and he never had time to play. The first impression of school to Washington is that “I remember going on several occasions as far as the school-house door with

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois each had individual approaches to dealing with poverty and discrimination issues of African-Americans at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Both were passionate activists who fought for their causes in vastly different ways and spoke out for what they believed in. Legally‚ African-Americans were “equal citizens‚” but socially they were far from it. It

I think that The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom had a very big impact on the United States‚ and was very important for African American rights (in the United States).
