Barack Obama was the first African American president of the United States. He was born in 1961 to a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas. Obama overcame racism and discrimination to become president, building on the civil rights movement led by figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. who fought against segregation and for equal treatment of black Americans. Obama's election showed how far the country had come from the era of slavery and institutionalized racism.

The Train from Hate by John Hope Franklin
The noticeably embrace author and educator whom was born on January 2, 1915, in Rentiesville, Oklahoma. Where he eventually attended Harvard University, earning his master's degree and later his doctorate in 1941. He, like his dad and mom, confronted numerous racist, segregation causing great limitations for his craft, but remained decided to pursue his career pursuits. John Hope Franklin was an American historian of the United States and previous president of Phi Beta Kappa, the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, and the Southern Historical Association (John Hope Franklin, Apr 2, 2014).
John Hope Franklin changed into an incredibly esteemed historian and author, appreciated for his scholarship that targeted on Southern history and racial politics (Biography.Com Editors, April 2, 2014). John Hope Franklin’s mother became a schoolteacher despite of the struggles that were endured, and Franklin leaned to read and write at an early age sitting in on her lessons. He went later to attend Fisk University, with the aim of following in his father's footsteps and analyzing law, but as an alternative turned to history, being mentored with the aid of Theodore S. Currier. While finally attended Harvard University, first achievements, his master's and later his doctorate in 1941. He, like his parents, faced several racist, segregation-primarily based barriers, yet remained determined to pursue his career interests (Biography.Com Editors, April 2, 2014).
In 1947 Franklin wrote his first noticeable selection call From Slavery to Freedom, a story involving his passion against racism. The tale deals with black records that later became a globally disbursed, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. It is credited as paving the manner for the introduction of African-American studies as a area, at the same time as Franklin has maintained that he has always been a historian of the South as opposed to completely managing race segregation over the years(Biography.com Editors, April 2, 2014). The tale From Slavery to Freedom is story of African Americans that are broadly taken into consideration to be the maximum authoritative, definitive, and comprehensive debts of African American records. The article lines the records of African Americans from their origins in Africa, to their experiences as slaves in the Western Hemisphere, styles of migration and demographic adjustments, in addition to the persevering with struggle for racial equality in the United States (John Gartrell, March 6, 2015).
Franklin was extremely motivated in the Civil Rights Movement as well, though taking care to split his activism from his objectivity as a historian. He worked with landmark cases like Lyman Johnson v. The University of Kentucky and Brown v. The Board of Education and participated inside the 1965 balloting rights march that commenced in .

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 ...
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Jay-Z - “My president is black”
(Chorus) My president is black, my Maybach, too
And I'll be god damned if my diamonds ain't blue
My money's dark green and my Porsche is light grey
(Hey) I'm headed to D.C., anybody feel me?
(Verse) My president is black / In fact
He's half-white / So even in a racist mind, he's half-right
So if you got a racist mind, you be aight
My president is black, but his house is all white
Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run
Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly
So I'ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
I already got my own clothes, already got my own shoes
I was hot / Before Barack
Imagine what I'm gonna do
Hello, Miss America / Hey pretty lady,
Red, white, and blue flag, wave for me, baby
Never thought I'd say this shit / Baby, I'm good
You can keep your puss / I don't want no more Bush (shit)
No more war, no more Iraq / No more white lies, the
president is black!

3. The US, Barack Obama and the history of Afro-Americans
Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in
Hawaii (US). His father was a black man born in
Africa (Kenya) and his mother was a white woman

5. The US, Barack Obama and the history of Afro-Americans
50 years ago it was impossible for an Afroamerican to become
president. In fact, in many parts of the USA segregation was everyday-
routine. Segragation meant that Afroamericans were seperated from the
white population and were treated like scum.

7. The US, Barack Obama and the history of Afro-Americans
A short Afro-American history (I)
Africans didn`t come to the USA because they
wanted to, they were brought to the US as slaves
to work on giant farms, so called plantations.
Slavery started in 1619. Dutch traders brought
Africans to the US and traded them for food and other goods.
By 1680, about 60,000 slaves were brought to the US each year and sold
for a lot of money. The slaves had no rights at all. They were the same as
chairs or chickens under the law.
In 1865 slavery ended in the United States.
This didn’t mean that Afro-Americans and whites
were now treated equally. Segregation was the
new keyword, meaning that Afro-Americans
were not allowed to use the same restaurants,
buses, trains and schools as whites.
8. The US, Barack Obama and the history of Afro-Americans
A short Afro-American history (II)
The tension between Afro-Americans and the
whites could be felt especially in the south of
the USA. In 1955, Rosa Parks, an African-American
woman, was on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
When asked, she refused to give her seat to a white
person, as the law ordered it – and was arrested
for it. This led to massive protests of Afro-Americans.
People who worked and fought for the rights of
Afro-Americans called themselves civil rights
movement.
Martin Luther King was a famous leader of this
movement. In 1963 he led a protest of 200 00
people to Washington D.C. . As a result of the
protests, discriminating laws were changed.
