Donating only a little of money can make a difference to many wishes in several ways.

In order to talk about the Freedom Summer project, we first have to identify it’s roots and the history behind it. Before the Freedom Summer project, there was the civil right movement in which thousands of African Americans protested for equality. Equality didn’t mean the term referred in the court case Plessy vs Ferguson “separate but equal.” African Americans wanted to end the era of segregation, this include not having to use lower quality public facilities than whites, not having to give their seats in a bus if a white person wanted to sit there, and the right to vote. With the help of different civil right activist such as Bayard Rustin, Jo Ann Robinson, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and all the people that marched and protested against
In the Summer of 1964, the Mississippi Summer Project, also known as Freedom Summer, was organized by several Civil Rights organizations such as the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee and the Congress on Racial Equality. The event that caused the start of Freedom Summer were that many African-Americans were not registered to vote, this was because the southern states had implemented literacy tests that were unfair and could be interpreted differently, and Poll Taxes which were ridiculous amounts to pay ("Freedom Summer"). Other causes include the case of Plessy Vs. Ferguson, which stated the “Separate but Equal” clause, and also Racial segregation. Freedom Summer Volunteers included White Northerners, and the organization was made to focus on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, Voter Registration, Freedom Schools, and Community Centers (“Timeline: Freedom Summer”). There was a need for the Freedom Summer because Many African-American People in the south were being oppressed by Literacy Tests and Poll Taxes.
Freedom Summer was a nonviolent effort by civil rights activists to integrate Mississippi's segregated political system during 1964. It raised the consciousness of millions of people to the troubles of African-Americans and the need for change. Americans all around the country were shocked by the killing of civil rights workers and the brutality they witnessed on their televisions. For nearly a century, segregation had prevented most African-Americans in Mississippi from voting or holding public office. Segregated housing, schools, workplaces, and public accommodations denied black Mississippians access to political or economic power.
In order to make America great again, we must go back to our simple ways. We must get rid of all of the unnecessary things in life and go back to what is most important. We must get rid of reason, language, electronics, and anything that will not help us survive. We must only focus self-preservation and our bodily needs, such as food and water. In order to do this, we must strip man of their artificial qualities and find their pure or original qualities. For example, there was once a brand new statue of Glaucus, a deceased fisherman in the Greek myths. This statue was original until “the old parts of his body have been broken off. . .thoroughly maimed by the waves at the same time as other things have grown on him-shells, seaweed, and rocks-so

On June 16th, 2015, Donald Trump rode down the Grand Escalator at Trump Tower and announced his candidacy for president. On that day, a political firestorm erupted, and Donald Trump changed politics as we know it.

Second, Americans must come up with solutions to this problem.
For many years, children from all walks of life have dreamed of going to good schools and making something of themselves by gaining a good education. This is where vouchers come in, but what use are they if private schools do not lead to a better education? Vouchers have been used in schools since the 1950’s so families can send their children to private schools. Voucher systems in the United States of America have been limited to Indiana and Louisiana, Milwaukee and Cleveland because of all the controversy surrounding private school vouchers. Since the 1980’s, people have argued whether or not vouchers are beneficial or detrimental. Democrats say that voucher systems will not solve all problems in the

We all have family traditions, some of which we take pride in, some of which we dread and despise but, whether you know it or not they are what make us who we are. One of my favorite traditions that I can truly say I’m passionate for would have to be Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner for the holiday goes by in a blink of an eye because of all the enjoyment. However, the preparations that lead up to the day are long and prestigious even though they are what make the dinner so great. Since the holiday comes up before we know it, we get started as soon as the year hits mid fall.
Cannabis has numerous slang terms such as weed, pot, dope, Mary Jane and reefer. Regardless of its many nicknames, it is most commonly referred to as marijuana. Marijuana and its various forms can be taken in multiple fashions. Consumers of this drug commonly smoke it as a joint or a blunt, but it can also be vaporized, eaten, applied as a cream, and even consumed as a tea. With elections coming up, marijuana use has recently made headlines for its emergence in proposed legislations, which would legalize the recreational consumption of marijuana in several states if passed. These legislations, however, do not take into consideration the many negative effects of marijuana use on the body, the wide availability to underage children, and potential harm to others. All of these negative aspects of marijuana use should consequently make any recreational use of marijuana illegal.
