President Kennedy and Black Civil RightsMr Halligan
Kennedy came from a wealthy Irish-American family that faced discrimination. As President, he took some steps to advance civil rights like enforcing desegregation and protecting Freedom Riders, but often reacted to crises rather than taking proactive steps. He grew to support the movement more over time under pressure from events like the Birmingham protests and James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi with federal support. Overall, Kennedy made some progress but also faced limitations from the political climate and international tensions.
The United States has a diverse climate ranging from subtropical to subarctic. It consists of 50 states and Washington D.C. located in central North America between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. With over 314 million people, it has a very ethnically diverse population and was formed from large-scale immigration. Indigenous peoples first migrated to North America over 12,000 years ago, and European colonization began in the 15th century. The country declared independence from Britain in 1776 and the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in 1863 after the Civil War.
The document summarizes the history of the civil rights movement in the United States from the late 19th century to the late 1960s. It describes key events and figures, including Plessy v.

1. What is your earliest memory of the American West?
One of the most outstanding memories about the American West was about the completion of the railroads to the following civil war which opened up a vast number of places to settlement and economic development. During that time, white settlers from the East flocked into Mississippi for mining activities, farming, as well as ranching. Besides, African-Americans settlers also came into the West emanating from the Deep South who were motivated by the promoters of all-black Western towns that prosperity could be found there (White, 2015). Also, diversity was intensified by the Chinese railroad workers within the region’s population. It then led the settlement from the East turn to Great Plains were the herds of Americans bison in the area were virtually omitted from the place as farmers plowed the area as well as the growth of cattle industry as the railroad provided a practical means for getting the cattle to market.
2. From what sources did you learn about the West? This could be anything from school to stories to TV shows to personal experience.
I was able to learn about the American West from various publications and articles available in the libraries of the institution as well as commercial libraries. Besides, learning about the West was made simpler by the availability of a wide range of online materials of study related to the topic. The wide range of online source equips one with the appropriate information about the West in clear details. Besides, the comparison of these sources enables one to acquire all the relevant data about the West and its historical background with regard to the American identity. Again, West is vastly presented in films and TV shows were characters have enacted the events of the period.
3. As you think about your perception of the American West, what individuals populate that space? What kinds of events take place? Set the scene of your imagined American West.
Imaginatively, I tend to perceive that the American West is populated by some widely but inter-related individuals which would be as a result of the different interaction of the different individuals who migrated into the place. Having different races within the same geographical setting means that mixed social, economic and political events will be carried such as the rise of support groups including women empowerment associations. However, this factor leads to the eruption of newly invented activities which would be suitable for all the participants in the region which would traverse across all the races in the West. Therefore, it means that new cultures and events will be generated over time in the American West due to the socialization with variant individuals from different races and ethnic groups.
4. After you’ve drafted your post, read through it and identify at least two images, pictures, TV/movie clips, or soundtracks that embody your ideas of the American Wes.

Pick a topic.
The topic I selected is the Native American topic. The Native Americans are people that are indigenous to Americas; these people lived there before the European colonization. The Native Americans comprise of a great number of different states, ethnic groups and tribes most of them continue to endure as political communities. The Native Americans were also known as American Indians, Aboriginal People’s, Native Canadians, First People and Aboriginal Americans.
Choose four specific events related to your topic.
The first event between the periods 1877 to 1945 is the killing of the Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse was a major war chief of the people of Lakota Sioux who was born in 1842. The event took place on September 6 1877. The event took place after Crazy Horse was arrested as rumors were passed that he was planning to get back to battle and due to his resistance to be jailed, he was killed. Crazy Horse was taken to jail in Fort Robinson and it was there that he resisted jailing and was killed. Fort Robinson was located in Nebraska State in United States central region (Danver 2015). Before Crazy Horse was arrested and killed, he had surrendered on May 6 1877 to General George Crook in Fort Robinson. This was after the assurance they were allowed to settle with his followers in Powder River country of Montana. After Crazy Horse resisted imprisonment by an Indian guard, a soldier using a bayonet thrust murdered him. He was 36 years old; this was historical since the Native Americans knew Crazy Horse for fighting and defeating the U.S Army. This was the worst war and to the Native Americans he was their hero.The second event from 1877 to 1945 was the Northern Cheyenne Escape. This event led to the Northern Cheyenne escaped from their reservation due to the poor conditions that they faced in the reservation, and these conditions included insufficient food and lack of tents. The Northern Cheyenne Escape took place from the period of 1878 to 1879. There was no specific date given for the occurrence of the event. The escape took place in states such Montana, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota and Nebraska. The escape was led by the Northern Cheyenne leaders they included; Old Crow, Morning Star, Wild Hog and Little wolf. All of these leaders decided to move their subjects to the north. Once upon a time, the groups were divided into two parts. The Morning Star was in charge as well as Little Wolf. However, the group led by Morning Star was harassed and taken to Fort Robinson in Nebraska. The event was historical since the groups were divided and they were glad to ...
The Civil Rights Movement prior to 1954 saw the gradual abolition of slavery followed by Reconstruction and amendments granting rights to freed slaves. However, segregation was legally enforced from 1896 following Plessy v. Ferguson. Leaders like Du Bois, Garvey and the founding of the NAACP fought discrimination. Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 ruled segregation in public schools unconstitutional, but desegregation faced strong resistance across the South. The Montgomery Bus Boycott and activities like sit-ins and Freedom Rides continued pushing for full civil rights and desegregation, facing violence but achieving some victories. The 1963 March on Washington and Civil Rights Act of 1964 were major successes, but the movement also faced fractures with Black Power and Black
- The Red Scare of 1919-1920 swept across America as fears grew of communism spreading from Russia. Attorney General Palmer ordered raids to arrest suspected radicals.
- Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian immigrants and anarchists, were convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence and executed, amid accusations of anti-immigrant bias.
- The 1920s saw debates between traditional moral values emphasizing religion and social order versus modernist views accepting new social norms like evolution, women's changing roles, and consumerism. Prohibition criminalized alcohol but led to speakeasies, while the Scopes Trial banned teaching evolution in schools.
From 1775 to 1830, many African Americans gained freedom from slavery in the North due to the work of abolitionist and moral reform groups, yet slavery expanded in the South to meet the growing demand for cotton. Enslaved and free African Americans responded to these challenges in different ways. Enslaved African Americans rebelled or conspired to rebel, while free African Americans advocated for their rights and created organizations to aid their communities.
The Civil Rights Movement prior to 1954 saw some progress such as the abolition of slavery after the Civil War and the founding of organizations like the NAACP in 1909. However, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision legalized racial segregation. Through the 1950s, the NAACP challenged segregation in the courts in cases like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. However, implementation of desegregation met strong resistance in some southern states, as seen in events like the Little Rock Nine crisis. Non-violent protests grew the movement throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, culminating in the March on Washington and passage of the Civil

Asian and Filipino Americans:
Brief Historical Notes
1500s through the 1700s - Filipino mariners reached Mexico and the California coast aboard Spanish galleons built and equipped in the Manila region for global exploration and trade. Present-day Americans of Filipino and Chinese descent in the Louisiana and Gulf Coast area trace their earliest immigrant heritage back to Manila Galleon seafarers.
1587 - "Luzones Indios", natives of the Philippines, were among the expeditionary force set ashore at Morro Bay, California on October 18, 1587. They were crew of the Nuestra Senora de Esperanza under Capt. Pedro de Unamuno.
1763 - "Manilamen", escaped galleon crew, establish the village of St. Malo on Lake Borgne near New Orleans as the earliest known settlement by Filipinos in North America.
1781 - Antonio Miranda, a Filipino member of Spanish expeditionary force exploring California from Mexico, was among the party that established the Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles.
1814 - Filipinos fought under pirate/privateer Jean Lafitte with U.S. forces at the Battle of New Orleans.
1830s - Chinese began working in small numbers on American-owned sugar plantations in Hawaii. Chinese sailors and peddlers were noticed in New York.
1848 - The traditional reference date for the arrival of the first offically recorded Chinese immigrants at the start of the California Gold Rush.
1850 - The Anti-Foreign Miner's License law established a tax that was selectively enforced against Chinese goldminers.
1852 - Chinese were brought to Hawaii in large numbers as field-workers on American- owned sugar plantations.
1854 - People v. Hall: the California Supreme Court decided that Chinese could not testify against any "white man", even if the Chinese were victims or witnesses to serious crimes, i.e., murder, arson or robbery.
1854 -The original International Hotel was built on Jackson Street.
1858 - California passed an anti-Chinese and anti-"Mongolian" immigration law that was a violation of Congressional powers under the U.S. .
The End of Reconstruction and the Rise of Jim Crow LawsEricHurlburt1
The document summarizes the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States after the Civil War. It explains that after Reconstruction ended in 1877, without federal protection, African Americans lost many rights and freedoms. Southern states then began passing Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation and discrimination, denying African Americans equal access to public spaces, education, jobs, voting rights, and more. This led to the widespread oppression and disenfranchisement of African Americans under an entrenched system of racial segregation in the South for the next 70+ years.
The document provides context about key events and social issues in the United States during the 1850s and 1950s. In the 1850s, Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided" speech highlighted rising sectional tensions. Pro-slavery and abolitionist groups clashed over the issue of slavery. The women's rights movement also gained momentum during this period. In the 1950s, the country experienced an economic boom following World War 2. However, tensions remained over issues like racial segregation, communism, and the role of religion in society. Music helped connect youth across racial and cultural divides during this period.

America rebirth and the emergency of modern america.docxwrite22
In the half-century following the Civil War, America became a divided nation on issues of freedom, equality, policy, and power. There was disagreement over what freedom meant for freed slaves and their rights. The question of equality was divisive as well, with movements emerging to promote equality for women, immigrants, and other groups. Policies often reinforced divisions of power, such as laws targeting freed slaves and suppression of political dissent. By the late 1800s, America remained split on these defining social and political issues that emerged from the Civil War era.

Korean Immigration Timeline
1. Korean Immigration Timeline From the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program: The Korean Americans, A Century of Experience http://apa.si.edu/Curriculum%20Guide-Final/timeline.htm
2. 1901-1910Arrival January 9, 1901-The first Korean immigrant, Peter Ryu, arrives in Hawai’i on a Japanese ship, KongkongMaru. January 13, 1903.The first significant group of Korean immigrants (103 men, women and children) arrive in Honolulu Harbor on the S.S. Gaelic as contract laborers in Hawai’i. The S.S. Gaelic carried Korean immigrants to Hawaii in 1903.
3. 1901-1910Arrival (cont.) 1910 - Japanese and Korean picture brides begin arriving in substantial numbers in the United States. With U.S. support, Japan officially declares Korea its colony. [Result: Korean immigrants are recognized by the U.S. government as Japanese nationals.] President Teddy Roosevelt accepts the Nobel Peace Prize in May, becoming the first American to achieve the Nobel prize in any category, which was awarded to him for helping to maintain the balance of power in the East by bringing the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) to an end. He achieves that alleged balance by “giving” the country of Korea to Japan. 1910 - Angel Island is set up as a detention center for non-laboring Asian immigrants. There are long waiting periods under inhumane conditions, and some even commit suicide.
4. 1913-1924Barring Citizenship May 19, 1913 -The California legislature passes the Alien Land Act, and it is signed into law. According to the statute, a person ineligible for U.S. citizenship is forbidden to purchase land for agricultural purposes, and may lease property for no more than three years. February 5, 1917 -President Woodrow Wilson vetoes a bill passed by Congress on December 14, 1916, but Congress overrides his veto. The Asiatic Barred Zone Act establishes a zone of countries that excluded immigrants from most of Asia, the Pacific Islands, as well as parts of Russia, the Middle East, and Afghanistan. September 22, 1922 -Congress passes the Cable Act, which revokes the U.S. citizenship of any woman citizen marrying an alien ineligible for U.S. citizenship. The law is predominantly aimed at American-born Asian women marrying immigrant Asian men. May 26, 1924 -President Calvin Coolidge signs into law the Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Quota Immigration or National Origins Act. It excludes the immigration of all Asian laborers, except from the Philippines, which was by then a U.S. territory.
5. 1942-1948 Striking Achievements February 19, 1942 – The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, predominantly made up of second-generation Japanese Americans and led by a Korean American, Colonel Young Oak Kim, becomes the most decorated military unit for its size and length of service in U.S. history while fighting in WWII. 1948 - Platform diver Sammy Lee, the son of Korean immigrants who had already earned his medical degree, becomes the first Asian American to win an Olympic gold medal. Four years later, he would become the first male diver to win back-to-back gold medals Sammy Lee becomes a role model for Korean American immigrants after winning an Olympic gold medal in 1948.
6. 1946-1953Immigrants of War 1946 - The War Brides Act of 1946 admits the alien wives and children of U.S. servicemen on a nonquota basis. This affects Korean women immigrant after the Korean War begins 4 years later. 1948 - The California Supreme Court declares California’s ban on interracial marriage unconstitutional. June 25, 1950 -The Korean War begins. The conflict eventually brings both Korean War brides and Korean War orphans to the United States. 1952 - The McCarran-Walter Immigration and Nationality Act goes into effect, repealing the National Origins Act of 1924 and allowing immigration quotas to Japan and other Asian countries. This Act gives the rights of naturalization and eventual citizenship for Asians not born in the United States and sets a quota of 105 immigrants per year for each Asian country. May 2, 1953 -The day is declared Korean Day in the United States, and U.S. citizens are encouraged to make donations in money and materials to assist Koreans. July 27, 1953 - Korean War ends.
7. 1960 - 1967Changes in Laws and Numbers June 13, 1960 - McCarthyism hits the Asian American communities with Kimm vs. Rosenberg, in which the U.S. Supreme Court rules that a Korean national should be deported for refusing to answer whether or not he is a Communist. October 3, 1965 -President Johnson signs a new immigration law that not only repeals the National Origins Act of 1924, but also establishes a new immigration policy to enable Asian immigrants to come to the United States. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and the increasingly authoritarian character of the Korean government fuels Korean immigration to the United States. By 1976, Korean immigration exceeded 30,000, leading to the emergence of “Koreatowns” in Los Angeles and Chicago. June 1967 - Anti-miscegenation laws are ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court ( Loving v. Virginia ).
8. 1968-1969Establishing Identity 1968- Students at San Francisco State University go on strike to demand establishment of an Ethnic Studies program. January 11, 1969 -The University of California at Berkeley’s “Yellow Identity” conference draws 900 attendees. January 19, 1969 -UC Berkeley students strike for three months to urge instituting Ethnic Studies. March 4, 1969 -The UC Berkeley faculty votes 550 to 4 in favor of establishing an Ethnic Studies Department. 1969- Demonstrating in union with the Civil Rights Movement throughout California, which is happening concurrently with the events that take place on the campuses of SF State and UC Berkeley, “Orientals” claim their new identity as Asian Americans.
9. 1992Violence in Los Angeles April 29, 1992 -Riots erupt in Los Angeles after the verdict came down from the first Rodney King trial. The announcement of the police officers’ acquittal triggered rioting and looting in South Central Los Angeles, eventually spreading to Koreatown and other areas. The violence was so intense that more than 50 persons were killed, and over 14,000 were arrested; property losses were estimated to be $1 billion. When the uprising subsided four days later, about 2,300 Korean-owned businesses had been looted or burned, and Korean American businesses suffered roughly half of the estimated $1 billion loss. Known among Koreans as “Sa-I-Gu” (literally, four-two-nine, or April 29), the riots shattered the faith of Korean Americans who had slowly built their dreams in search of a better life in the United States. Edward Song Lee dies during the LA riots in 1992. Lee and 3 friends were attempting to help the owner of the Korean owned Kang-SuhMyon-Oak noodle shop.
10. 2000A Revealing Census April, 2000 -The 2000 U.S. Census shows that the Asian Pacific American population is approximately 12.5 million, or approximately 4.5% of the total U.S. population, a growth of 7.3 million from the 1990 Census. [For highlights, check http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2003/cb03-ff05.html] Other findings include: APAs had the highest median family and household incomes APAs owned the most expensive homes APAs are the best-educated among all groups, topping even non-Hispanic whites during the past decade. HOWEVER, what the numbers did NOT show: APA per capita income lagged more than 10% behind that of non-Hispanic whites (while Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders were 40% lower), also the average household size is larger among APAs Higher home values are in large part because of the propensity of APAs to live in expensive urban areas in high cost-of-living states like Hawai’i, California, and New York Higher education can be explained by the fact that the Asians allowed to immigrate to American under U.S. policies have been those with technical backgrounds and better education (hence one of the causes of the model-minority myth, as well). Moreover, the 2000 Census data showed that many APAs remained impoverished, unemployed, and less educated than the average American.
11. 2001-2002Prejudices Remain April, 2001 -A landmark national survey released by a Chinese American research group showed that 25% of Americans showed very negative attitudes and stereotypes towards Asian Americans . Other significant findings include: 23% of Americans are uncomfortable voting for an Asian American to be President of the United States. This is in contrast to 15% for an African American candidate, 14% for a woman candidate and 11% for a Jewish candidate. 24% of Americans would not approve of inter-marriage with an Asian American. This number is lower than that compared to an African American (34%), but higher than a Hispanic (21%) and a Jew (16%). 7% of Americans would not want to work for an Asian American CEO. This is in contrast to 4% for an African American, 3% for a woman and 4% for a Jew. March 11, 2002-The National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium (NAPALC) releases “Backlash: When America Turned on Its Own,” which shows a significant spike in racial violence against Asian Americans nationwide since the events of 9-11. As a result of a zealous form of patriotism, people who might vaguely resemble the enemy – including Asian Americans, especially South Asian Americans and Sikh Americans – are being locked away without due process.
12. 2003Celebrating Korean Americans 2003 - The Smithsonian Institution celebrates the Korean American Centennial with a year-long series of events every month that highlight aspects of the Korean American experience. The Korean American Centennial Commemoration is the first-ever focus on the Korean American throughout the Smithsonian complex and the first-ever sustained focus on any ethnic group throughout Smithsonian history. June 27, 2003 -The U.S. Senate passes a historic resolution (S.R. 185), recognizing the 100th anniversary of Korean immigration to the United States. President George W. Bush issues a proclamation recognizing the centennial on January 13, 2003, commending Korean Americans for their “important role in building, defending, and sustaining the United States of America.”
