Cluster bombs should potentially be outlawed as they often kill civilians, though the United States has not signed an international treaty to ban them. Capitalism historically concentrated economic power among private individuals and groups rather than politically empowering all people. For example, Spain once ruled a large empire in the Western Hemisphere and profited greatly from mining gold there. Absolute monarchs like France's Louis XIV claimed total authority as the law, styling themselves as central figures like the Sun King due to the divine right of kings doctrine.

The document provides historical context about Wells Barnett and lynchings in Memphis up through the civil rights era.

2) Efforts over the past decade have brought greater awareness to the Tulsa race riot through educational initiatives and memorials. However, survivors' attempts to secure compensation through the legislature and courts have been unsuccessful.
3) As the number of surviving witnesses of the riot dwindles, advocates continue pushing for recognition, but acknowledge momentum may be lost once no living survivors remain to testify
