Glen echo amusement park Erin martin 7300 macarthur blvd 2/22/16 Glen echo, Md 20812 per: 6/8 To: whom it may concern, I'm writing in regards to your current discrimination policy. I understand what you believe in, that black people should not be allowed in your park. However your policy is not justified because, Clifton Davis worked his hardest and raised the money so that he could get his happiness, but keeps on getting denied. It's not fair because of his race that he can not go to the park it should be equal. Him and his friend payed a lot of money to enjoy the park, but was denied access. One reason that the management is not justified in excluding Clifton Davis is because, you are not treating him equally. All men are created equal we all deserve happiness, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” This shows that black people have rights just as much as white people do. This all shows that black should be equal to white people. They should …show more content…
This illustrates “These rights are life, freedom, and the ability to look for happiness” according to The Declaration Of Independence, thus showing that he should have rights and happiness in his life. This also shows that freedom is a right and it should not be taken away from people; therefore, he should have happiness. The final reason was, in 1959 a thirteen year old boy tried to find his happiness by going on a trip with his class, but it was denied. For example, “after feeling sad for ten seconds, i decide to fund the trip myself. This shows that he tried hard to succeed at what he was trying get but, the the management said,”No negroes in our park.” As I recall back to the Declaration Of Independence it says “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” therefore The Glen Echo Park is not falling the
Having a job is a daily struggle that mostly everyone experiences. For some, it is extremely challenging to receive a job of their choice because the color of their skin is not what companies are searching for. This occurs often in corporations around the world, where young black men are overlooked by companies just because of their skin tone. The African American Civil Rights Movement started in 1958 but the fight is still unfortunately occurring today. In the picture provided, a group of men, some black and some white, are protesting against UPS and its racial dilemma. Eight UPS employees in the state of Kentucky have attempted to sue the company due to harsh punishments and other odd incidents that
Parks have been around for many years. They truly have impacted not only suburbs, but they have majorly impacted cities. Without the invention of parks it would be hard to escape city life. Cities are still changing from what they used to be and how they are designed. However the future of the parks is unsure due to funding and lack of maintenance. The first idea of a park was from William Penn in 1682. He created a plan for Philadelphia to have five areas of park - like land. Then James Oglethorpe had an idea in 1733 for Savannah. He established a system, where neighborhoods were revolved around a square (Schuyler, 2015). The first recorded urban park was Fairmount Gardens. It was created in 1812, in Philadelphia when they constructed their waterworks. The park first started off at five acres, surrounding the waterworks. The park had become so popular that in 1828 they expanded it to twenty-eight acres. In 1850, Lemon Hill and Sedgley estates were added to Fairmount, which made the popularity of the park increase. People thought the park site was chosen because of the class of people that lived there, but that was not the case. The land was chosen because it was too elevated. Since the land was so elevated that made it too hard to build and expensive to build anything there or to build roads on that kind of land (Schuyler, 2015). Parks then became very popular in cities. William Cullen Bryant and Andrew Jackson Downing became the faces
The problems I see from overturning President Clintons ban on the park consists of many different aspects. First would be the controversy that the overturn has caused with the people involved, Environmentalists, Government
Coney Island and Disneyland are two historical representations of pleasurable pastimes where Americans could go to temporarily leave behind their stereotypical duties and rigid social conduct. The American culture in the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century was a time period where Americans were establishing standards on ways to act and live in America. These standards combined the idea of happiness with socially acceptable behavior. Over time the American Dream became more defined, where the white picket house family was the ideal goal for any American. This traditional mindset would pave the way for the creators of Coney Island and Disneyland to create a place where Americans could escape these social constructs to have fun.
A third of the city was black and black people could us only 3 out of 132 parks, 8 tennis courts of 127 that weren’t lit at night, and no golf courses. Due to the metropolitan fragmentation, these facilities were located in the white areas and funded by the white people. When the golf courses were finally desegregated, it was highly resented. Only a few golf courses were desegregated at a time and the white population was infuriated.When a group of fellow African Americans got together to play a tournament, a “large contingent of aroused residents” marched to the mayor’s office and demanded a black man stop trying to hold a National Negro Gold
This meant that each American deserved to be free from poverty and racial injustices. For people to be more concerned for their goals; rather than for riches, this is where true happiness that can be found.
Don Bader, Director of Parks and Recreation, has claimed that it will in time attract travelers. According to the Kochville Gazette, the historical roots of Ekey’s Park are substantial to many of its citizens. Being built during the Great Depression allowed for many men to find jobs in a time of dire need. Is there really any rights to taking it down when it had at one point provided for countless men in need of jobs? Yes, the park may make Kochville less money, however, it holds a special place in the history of Kochville. Concerned citizens claim that every urbanized city should have a park, at one point referencing Central Park in New York City. Like Central Park, Ekey Park is a landmark in Kochvilles local history. An open green area in an urbanized is something that will be meaningful to Kochvilles citizens, just like it was in the past. What’s more important to a city than its very lifeblood, its community? For this reason, it becomes an attraction to travelers as a symbol of Kochville’s persistence and ingenuity in the days where its citizens needed it the most. According to Sharon Shannahan, a longtime teacher of Kochville High School, “Ekey Park is not only a place to escape from stress and work, but it is a permanent staple to our community.” This is one of the biggest reason why Ekey Park should be considered the lifeblood of the Kochville community. Citizens like Shannahan, who have been in the town for well over 4 decades, have roots with the Ekey Park. Taking something so vital to the people in
This large amount of people has prompted legislative action to clearly define the park’s borders in 1929, and has also inspired park management programs to protect the
‘We have no Right to Happiness’ makes a very good argument on the point the author is trying to make. Some people believe that happiness is a right and is supposed to be given out, or is required to be provided by the government, like a right. In all reality that is true, but to an extent, we do have a right to
Its seems that Raj Dolas likes to preselect his own race for positions with his office. This is also a violation of federal law and unfortunately his selections have resulted in failures and poor morale. It has also been reported that Dolas berates and belittles his staff at every turn. Dolas was selected by Owens. Unfortunately, a Ms. Rami Dillion is guilty of hiring only her race (east Indian) for all her staff picks. Raj allows his staff to favor one race over another. Within the SQAD the selection of east Indians, blacks seem to be favored over others. Others are often treated poorly until they leave so they can be replaced by blacks and east
In C.S Lewis essay, “ We Have No Right To Happiness, he argues that we the people within the world don’t have the right to happiness. In my right being who can accuse such a thing. Everyone has the right to be happy in my opinion. Perhaps look for instance even our Declaration of Independence says “ We have the right to pursue happiness.” I find it somewhat fascinated and yet nothing has changed in our culture since such as author C.S Lewis has wrote this short essay. I truly believe that people know how to be happy and express it, but perhaps they just assume on having a good reason to not be satisfied with their daily lives. I nessaccly feel
I am writing in regards to your current discrimination policy. I understand that you believe negroes are not allowed to be inside the amusement park. However, your policy is not justified, because of Lincoln’s speech, the Declaration of Independence, and the Mason Dixon line.

The Arctic oil drilling industry can be seen as one of the most driven economic gains and a step ahead for the country to become energy independence. Nonetheless, the price that comes with this gold liquor has shifted the country’s mission to harvest and provide a clean, eco-friendly energy. The continuous drilling processes come with negative impacts towards the areas involved: in this case, The Chukchi Sea, The Beaufort Sea and The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). In order to sustain the oil drilling industry, the massive infrastructure development has been conducted on the areas listed above. From these development, the rate of carbon emission and acid level in the soil have increase; these pollutants are threat not
