Emmett till case powerpoint
Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy from Chicago, was visiting family in Money, Mississippi in 1955. He was kidnapped, beaten, shot, and thrown in a river by two white men after being falsely accused of whistling at a white woman. His body was found days later, disfigured and decomposed. An all-white jury acquitted the two men after just over an hour of deliberation, sparking national outrage and galvanizing the civil rights movement. Emmett Till's murder became a symbol of the brutality and injustice faced by African Americans in the Jim Crow South, and his open casket funeral where the world saw his mutilated body further fueled the growing movement

AJ103_Brady v. Maryland (1963)
The Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland established that suppression of exculpatory evidence violates a defendant's right to due process. John Brady was sentenced to death for murder but was not informed that his co-defendant had confessed to being the actual killer. The Court ruled this violated Brady's 14th Amendment rights, establishing that prosecutors must disclose any evidence favorable to the defendant. As a result, Brady's death sentence was reduced to life in prison. Brady v. Maryland set the precedent that failure to turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense is a violation of due process.

Mississippi Burning Character Analysis - Agent Anderson
Agent Rupert Anderson presents a casual, friendly appearance to fit in with the local community in Mississippi and gather information, but he is determined to solve the case.

Though he feels what he does is nearly as bad as the KKK's actions, Anderson thinks his tactics are necessary to find the missing civil rights workers in an environment where neither side is fully right or wrong.

Unit 9 PowerPoint Civil Rights Movement
The document outlines key events in the American Civil Rights Movement from the Reconstruction Era to the 1960s. It discusses pivotal court cases like Plessy v. Ferguson, which legalized segregation, and Brown v. Board of Education, which overturned it. Major nonviolent protests led by Martin Luther King Jr. and organizations like the SCLC, SNCC, and CORE are also summarized, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and March on Washington. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 are noted as important victories for the movement.
Mississippi burning powerpoint
The document discusses the 1988 film "Mississippi Burning" and reviews of the film from the time of its release. It provides context on the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi that inspired the film. The film depicts the FBI investigation into the murders led by two agents, played by Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe. Reviews praised Hackman's performance but had mixed views on whether the film accurately portrayed the racism and discrimination faced by African Americans in the South.
Lynching PowerPoint
Lynching was a form of violent public execution carried out in the United States, most often against African Americans, between the 1880s and 1960s. Lynchings were often carried out without due process by mobs to punish alleged crimes or intimidate and control populations. The brutal lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman shocked the nation and galvanized the civil rights movement. Though two white men were tried for Till's murder, an all-white jury acquitted them, highlighting the injustice faced by African Americans in the Jim Crow South. The brutal killing came to symbolize the systemic racism and violence endured by Black people in the era of segregation.
Mississippi Burning - Analysis of Opening Scene
The opening scene of Mississippi Burning is analyzed in 3 parts:
1) It begins with silent black screens and the shaded view of segregated water fountains, establishing the pre-civil rights era setting.
2) It then cuts to a burning church with no one coming to help, before panning to a car driving down an empty road late at night with 3 men.
3) Several unlit cars suddenly appear, revealed to be full of armed white men. They pull the men over and the passenger is fatally shot, emphasizing the threat of violence and lawlessness in the area.
Civil rights movement
The civil rights movement gained momentum after WWII with Truman desegregating the military and FDR banning discrimination. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declared segregation unconstitutional, though southern states resisted. Key events in the 1950s-60s included the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK, sit-ins by students, and the March on Washington where MLK delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were passed after violent protests in Birmingham and elsewhere.
Civil Rights Movement
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
US political system
This document provides an overview of the United States government and political system. It discusses the founding principles established in key documents like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. The three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial - are described along with their roles and structures. For example, Congress is described as the legislative branch made up of the House and Senate. The presidency is outlined as the head of the executive branch. Important historical events, figures, and court cases are also mentioned, such as the founding fathers and the Dred Scott decision.
Civil rights powerpoint
The Civil Rights Movement in the United States saw the use of various non-violent and activist approaches to fight racial segregation and discrimination over several decades in the 20th century. Key events and figures included Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball in the 1940s, the Montgomery Bus Boycott sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest in 1955, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington. Major pieces of civil rights legislation like the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were passed amid ongoing sit-ins, freedom rides, and efforts to desegregate schools. The movement faced ongoing resistance from segregationists but ultimately succeeded in ending Jim Crow laws

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
