will someone read this and tell me if it is good and if not what i can do to fix it?

this is my dbq 4 am history the question asked was agree or disagree; african americans have gained political, economic and social equality

The Civil Rights movement was successful in getting African Americans political, economic, and social equality. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcom X, and the Black Panthers were some of the leaders in the movement. In the beginning of the movement African Americans believed in non-violent protesting but near the end the protesting became violent. Before the movement there were laws of equality but no one followed them. After the movement the government enforced those equality laws way more.

The Civil Rights Movement began when an African American woman named Rosa parks refused to move from her seat on the bus and was arrested. The specific protest that she started was the Montgomery bus boycott. African Americans were upset that Rosa parks had been arrested and they all decided to not ride the busses and walk or get rides from employers.At first it was hard for blacks to do this because they would get beaten and arrested but the government was loosing a lot of money and they decided to give the blacks freedom to sit were they wanted to on busses.This law was not followed as well as hopped. When people realized that the segregation on busses was still happening in 1961 they gathered a large group of blacks and whites. These people got several busses and had the whites sit in the back and blacks in the front. They rode the busses all over and were beaten along the way. At one point some of the busses were burned (C).After these protests African Americans finally got their freedom on busses.

In 1963 James Meredith was admitted into the University of Mississippi. He felt that even though the university had admitted him that it was still not segregated an that he was alone (J). But the Board of Education felt that they had desegregated their school and was following the laws. In an earlier case that was Brown vs. Board of education they fought for desegregated schools. In the fourteenth amendment it states that facilities can be “separate but equal.” They fought that separate schools was not equal (G). Brown had won this case and the schools were to be desegregated. The northern states were starting to desegregate. The desegregation of schools helped African Americans get better paying jobs because they started to get higher education. The income of most African American families had increased (E). When the African American families started to get higher income they started to move into housing in better conditions then in the homes they were forced to live in.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a main leader in the movement he fought non-violently. In the march on Washington he gave his famous “I have a dream…..” speech. Not long after this he was arrested and continued to fight from jail and wrote a letter (H). When the non-violent protests were not working as well as hoped African Americans started to go for violent protesting. Malcom X and the black panthers were main voices of violent protesting. The Black panthers had written a platform to state what they wanted. They wanted freedom and power to do what they want with their lives, full employment, better education opportunities, better housing, exemption from military, end to all violence toward them, and freedom to the blacks in jail. African Americans also wanted the right to vote. In 1960 Tennessee was the only state that had over 50 percent of blacks voting (B). With all the fighting and protesting done by 1966 at least three more state had over 50 percent of blacks voting(B)>

In all the Civil Rights movement gained African Americans social political and economic equality. Today it is not completely equal but it is way more equal then it has been in the pat. Thanks to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, The Black Panthers and all the people who fought for the rights of African Americans. The African American people living today can go to school, work, and public places with all kinds of races.

Sign this Weekend, Stand for the Constitution, Impeach Bush


impeachment.kucinich.us We Want Bush Impeached, We Support the Kucinich Resolution. See video: youtube.com Excerpts come from a June 11, 2008 Countdown with Keith Olbermann show: representativepress.blogspot.com OLBERMANN: Time now to call in George Washington University law professor and constitutional law expert: Jonathan Turley. Good evening, Jon. JONATHAN TURLEY, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EXPERT: Hi, Keith. OLBERMANN: I’ve often argued here that even if you think the words aren’t going to lead to any action, say the words anyway, simply to get them on the record for history, and simply because nothing has ever changed from bad to good in this country without somebody first saying—this is bad. Assess the importance of what Dennis Kucinich did last night. TURLEY: You know, it is very important. The fact is that this is not supposed to happen the way it happened in the last seven years. The framers, I think, would have been astonished by the absolute passivity if not collusion of the Democrats in protecting President Bush from impeachment. I mean, they created a system that was essentially idiot-proof and God knows we put that to a test in the past years. But, I don’t think they ever anticipated that so many members of the opposition would stand quietly in the face of clear presidential crimes. It has many of us who study the Constitution quite worried that we have a real crisis here. This is not something that really was supposed to happen. It was not something that one would …

What do you think of this…?

GREEDY LIBERALS AND GENEROUS CONSERVATIVES
By Rick Roberts
I want Conservatives and Christians to NOT give to charities this Christmas. That’s right! I want Conservatives and Christians to stop donating… but with ONE exception:Anything to help the military is fine!I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I believe that the right thing to do this Christmas is NOT to give…Don’t give to Father Joe. Don’t give to the Salvation Army. Don’t give to homeless shelters. Just don’t give. Now, many of you may already be cutting back on your giving this year… And you maybe feeling guilty about it.But I’m here to tell you… DROP THE GUILT. You ARE doing the right thing by not giving. Do not feel guilty about keeping your money for you and yours.Now, here’s why I’m asking Christians and Conservatives NOT to give this holiday:I’m just trying to wake people up. I’m not trying to be mean, or heartless, or cruel. I’m just trying to get people to open their eyes. When you get hit up for charities this Christmas Season, MOST of that money goes into either:A) The pockets of people who run the charities, or:B) Drug addicts and deadbeats on welfare who have done nothing to contribute to their own lives, let alone society.When you think of that bell ringing outside the department store, I want you to think of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who sacrificed everything for your freedom…And think of all those men and women coming home without limbs, with shrapnel in their bodies who have seen their friends die in the battlefield.And then I want you to compare that sacrifice to the bum sitting on the roadside. I want you to think of Rosie O’Donnell, Sean Penn, and all the other pompous Hollywood actors who call you names just for being a conservative. You know, the ones who slam our troops at every opportunity. The ones who accuse them of evil. The ones who accuse President Bush of being Hitler and accuse our troops of committing genocide and random acts of violence. My take on giving is this: Give to those who have actually done something for this country and NOT to the ingrates who are nothing more than a leech on our great nation.And if that, for whatever reason, just doesn’t make sense to you, how about this:GIVE TO YOUR OWN FAMILY. The economy is a drag. People are down on their luck. But not everyone gives up and buries their sorrows in a bottle. Some people actually work harder, try harder, study harder… Give to these people. Help those who are trying to help themselves.Besides… Obama will soon come to the welfare crowd’s defense. Which brings me to my third reason not to give to charities this holiday season: Politics.You are going to wish you kept some of your money for yourself and your loved ones come tax season. That’s when our new President’s uber-welfare state is going to kick in…So you may as well start an Obama savings account now so that the welfare mom can have her new plasma TV.If you need another reason why Christians and Conservatives should stop giving, here it is:I’ve had ENOUGH. Haven’t you?I’ve had enough of the liberals and their name-calling.I’ve had enough of the attacks on churches, Mormon temples and Jewish Synagogues. I’ve had enough of their hatred and spouting that our God doesn’t exist.Did you know that – even though liberal families’ income averages 6% higher than that of conservative families – conservative households give, on average, 30% more to charity than the household of the opposite politcal belief?• That’s $1,600 per year vs. $1,227.• Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood. • Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush. • Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average. • In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.• People who reject the idea that “government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality” give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition. • And another good example of liberalism… In 2000 Vice President Al Gore’s charitable contributions, as a percentage of his income, were below the national average: He gave 0.2 percent of his family income, one-seventh of the average for donating households. But Gore “gave at the office.” He said he used his public office to give other peoples’ money to government programs and therefore he was being “charitable.” If Barack Obama wants to spread the wealth around, he needs to start digging in the pockets of the liberals. We’ve got to even out the playing field.Conservatives MUST stop being suckers. Seriously, just stop!Obama and the liberals need to start throwing all their support behind the drug addicts and bums on the street.Want to know where MY m
