The Civil Rights Movements
Abstract
In the African-American history, Civil Rights Movements mark important milestones in the advancement against oppression. The freedom struggle that the African Americans went through to attain their contemporary status in the society was preceded by years of sacrifice and determination. The movements formed a basis of unity that the community used to push their calls for equality and anti-discrimination campaigns. Through these movements, the African Americans succeeded to compel the government to create reforms that ended the existing racial inequality. Everyone was accorded equal rights to vote, protection against segregation driven attacks and the freedom to join school regardless of race. The other notable impact of the movements is the inclusion of the African Americans in elective posts to the current leadership of the country's highest office.
Origin
Amid extreme discrimination on basis of color, African Americans started the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s to push against these practices. These movements had become popular and play a significant role in the history of America. African Americans had continued to experience abuse and race-inspired violence years after Emancipation Proclamation. They were denied access to public facilities like classrooms, bathrooms, buses and even theaters. There existed a separate but equal doctrine that contributed to the rampant discrimination practices. The act was however struck down in 1954 by U.S Supreme court. Activists took place in several nonviolent protests and civil disobedience in the struggle to bring change. Among the agendas of these protests that lasted for over a decade, was spearheading the amendments of the Voting Rights in 1965.
The civil rights era saw the rise to prominence of leaders within the black community and beyond. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Andrew Goodman among others were some of those who acquired prominence. They showed commitment in their quest for equality and justice something that led to some of them losing their lives besides only risking them. The deaths could, however, be referred as martyr deaths following the success in the realization of the movements' objectives. Their goal was to ensure equal protection for everyone under the law and that the minority and women's rights were protected too. Most of the protests took place in the southern states where most of the oppression and discrimination was being felt. All these activities were recorded during the post World War 2 period which form the most popular of events of the Civil Rights Movements (Bodroghkozy, 2012).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

with because of their membership in a particular group or
class.
