...this paper I will tell you what segregation is, how it has evolved in the past 5 years, and why segregation is important in North Carolina public schools. Segregation in Public Schools According to Webster’s dictionary, the definition of segregation is the practice or policy of keeping people of different races, religions, etc., separate from each other. Gary Orfield(2009) wrote an article stating that schools in the United States are more segregated today than they were in more than four decades. Schools in the US are 44 percent non-white and minorities (mainly African Americans) are rapidly emerging as the majority of public school students. In 1954, Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that the South’s standard of “separate but equal” was “inherently unequal,” and did “irreversible” harm to black students. Now the most reason for segregation in public schools isn’t race, its poverty. Most of the nation’s dropouts occur in non-white public schools, which leads to African Americans unemployed. Schools that are in low income communities don’t get the same funding as the other schools. It’s reported that schools in low income communities tend to have weaker staffs, fewer high achieving peers, health and nutrition problems, residential instability, single-parent households, high exposure to crime and gangs, and many other conditions that would affect a student’s performance level in school. Not only is racial segregation in public schools...

...Introduction Brown versus Board of Education was a major turning point in the history of the United States. This major case was actually several cases that were decided by the Supreme Court as one. These cases were argued by the NAACP and their expert team of lawyers led by Thurgood Marshall and his team the Legal Defense and Educational Fund. All the cases were filed by African American parents on behalf of their children. The parents of these children wished it to be brought before the courts that “separate but equal” was not fair. In the South though, Plessy v. Ferguson, “separate but equal” and Jim Crow laws reigned, they had a tough battle ahead. Leading up to Brown v. Board of Education The Jim Crow Laws were enacted in mostly the Southern and some of the border states of the United States and enforced between 1876 and 1965, slightly less than a hundred years (wikipedia). These laws mandated "separate but equal" status for black Americans. “In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were almost always inferior to those provided to white Americans. The most important laws required that public schools, public places and public transportation, like trains and buses, have separate facilities for whites and blacks” (wikipedia). In the Progressive Era the restrictions were formalized, and segregation was extended to the federal government by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 (wikipedia). To discuss the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, a brief history...

...Women in Psychology Paper Johnny Williams PSY310 January 9, 2012 Lillian Fillpot Women in Psychology Paper A conversation of women in psychology can only be conducted with discussion of the many women who have contributed much of their lives to education as well as educating others with the knowledge that they have learned. This paper will define Inez Beverly Prosser, PhD, a woman who has made significant contributions to the field of psychology between the years 1850 and 1950. This paper will also cover and describe her background, theoretical perspective, and contributions to psychology. Inez Beverly Prosser was born on December 30th approximately 1895 within Texas; no one is for certain of her exact birth date all that is known is stated. Out of eleven brothers and sisters Inez was the first daughter to her parents. Her father, Samuel Andrew Beverly, always seem to find work as an attendant no matter where they moved to. Her mother, Veola Hamilton, stayed and turned their house into a beautiful home. The family continued to move when the children were little, first in 1900 to Yoakum in the south of Texas and in 1907 to Corpus Christi. Prosser and her oldest brother, Leon, came back to Yoakum to attend the high school. After finishing at the top of her class in 1910, Prosser enrolled at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College to be found 45 miles northwest of Houston. In 1912, she graduated from College with a two year degree, and was now...

...Introduction For this assignment I have selected to research and write about Early African Americans creating a pidgin (common language) to communicate with one another. This subject has had many debates throughout time, with the thought basis being that slavery had wiped out all of Africans heritage and influence over time. I conclude that the African people brought their heritages and traditions with them and forged new ones, even with their languages. Early African American Pidgin African peoples were kidnapped from their homelands, brought to America and forced into slavery beginning in the fifteenth century. These people were brought from many different countries in Africa and spoke several different languages. In order for them to communicate with one another they started inventing ways to converse. How did the African slaves use these words, and how did all of their languages become so intermingled? Slavery, which divided these people from all that they knew, breached the ability of these Africans to use their native tongues. Instead, the Africans learned to converse in a pidgin, a mixed common second language. (Ebron, 2010). In the coastal region of Georgia and South Carolina, slaves from Western Africa were the majority of the people living in that area until the end of slavery in the United States. In the 1930’s a linguist named Lorenzo Dow Turner contended that people from these communities spoke a mixture of both English and several African...
