...The essay will delve into the successes and challenges African Americans encountered in their pursuit of civil rights, their strategies, and the reactions of white Americans. Ultimately, it will assess the accuracy of the "Second Reconstruction" analogy in understanding the evolution of African American civil rights in the United States. During the First Reconstruction Era, the United States attempted to rebuild the South and establish civil rights for African Americans following the Civil War. Government policies included the Constitution's 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. The 13th Amendment was created to abolish slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and the 15th Amendment prohibited denying the right to vote based on race and color. African Americans actively exercised their newfound rights by participating in politics and establishing educational...

He removed the poll tax along with raising the minimum wage. He made great improvements during his one term as governor, but was not supported by the conservative business community. 2) Discuss the political career of Winthrop Rockefeller. Winthrop Rockefeller was first appointed in 1954 as director of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. After his fall out with Faubus and the Little Rock crisis Rockefeller decided to begin building his campaign for governor. His first run in 1964 was unsuccessful, but he was able to secure the governor seat in 1966 and held it for two terms. Rockefeller was able to gain large support from the black voters after the Voting Right Act of 1965. The Freedom of Information Act passed during his time is office was a large success that we still benefit from today. 3) Discuss how Pryor and Bumpers changed Arkansas government?

...Movement of the 1960’s All forms of Black music, from jazz to rock and roll, played an important part in the Civil Rights Movement. The songs were sung for multiple purposes and played a critical role in inspiring, activating, and giving voice to the people involved. The evolution of music during the early 1950’s and 1960’s in the Black freedom struggle reflects the evolution of the Civil Rights Movement itself. The progressive thought of the 1950s nurtured new ideas and cultures including the Civil Rights Movement and the fast spread of rock and roll. One such cultural revival occurred after the end of World War II during a time of change, prosperity and restoration. The “Puritan dicta” outlined by Baldwin represents the American ideology before the Second World War. As the first settlers of this nation, the Puritans set the mold for many common American ideologies. In the Puritan view white represented good and black represented evil, including Africans and their culture. After the war, Baldwin states that the former puritanical views of whites will be challenged. Musicians such as Elvis Presley were the first to issue this challenge to white society. Early rockers like Elvis would pave the way for social commentary in music that would add much fire to the Civil Rights Movement. To fully understand the explosion of popularity of Black music in the years following World War II, one must understand the social conditions in which Blacks and Whites lived in the South.

...Clark Farley AMST 486: Shalom Y’all Dr. Marcie Cohen Ferris 08 December, 2010 The Relationship of Southern Jews to Blacks and the Civil Rights Movement Since the 1960’s historians and many other scholars have tried to delve into the relationship of blacks and Jews. The experiences of blacks and Jewish people have common histories of dispersion, bondage, persecution, and emancipation. Their relationship can be primarily recognized since the formation of the NAACP in 1909. During the civil rights movement, this organization played a key role in the black-Jewish alliance. However, many scholars have argued if there ever was an alliance between the two, and if so, what might have caused this alliance to break? We may generalize that today’s relationship between the two groups is a relationship in which Jews are superior in regards to social position. In my research I analyzed the works of several scholars to seek the involvement of southern Jews with blacks and the Civil Rights movement. In his 1973 publication of The Provincials, Eli Evans argues that the South is one of the least anti-Semitic regions in the Nation. Among their gentile neighbors, Jews had been accepted as white members of Southern society during the civil rights movement. At this time Jews barely made up one percent of the South's population. Even though a large portion of white civil rights activists were Jewish, the percentage of Jews in the South that took part in the civil rights movement...

The effect therefore of the report was the furtherance of educational contexts for the subjects (Wisconsin History, 2016).

...Ways of training managers and state the importance In the consideration of management training the objectives of the organization must be acknowledged. Therefore the organization’s strategic, tactful and operational plans are of utmost importance, because these are the factors of the manager’s job analysis which will determine the intricacies and interest of the incumbent’s training. A manager’s job description will vary according to organization, culture and political boundaries, however, managers must posses the qualities of human, conceptual and technical skills in respect of the job description for effective management in changing times. Recommendations to address the development of manager’s human, conceptual and technical skills can be considered as follows. Management training may take place on the job “informally” or off the job “formally”, however, most management training takes place off the job states Stephen P. Robbins’s Essential of Organizational Behavior eighth edition. Informal training on the job tends to disrupt productivity and services so off the job training is advised. Off the job training is considered formal as they are structured and planned to facilitate the job description. As for the manager’s training in particular, formal settings, such as classroom lectures at the tertiary level or the organization’s own training institution providing coaching by outsourced professionals or the company’s own executives, seminars, workshops and meetings of...

Collins, Senior New Hope Christian Fellowship Ministries P O Box 956606 Marietta, Georgia 30064 Greetings Pastor Collins: I am submitting the attached proposal for consideration by you, the First Lady, and the members of New Hope Christian Fellowship Ministries. This proposal identifies the problems of declining membership at your church as well as possible solutions. I have been a member of New Hope Christian Fellowship Ministries for over seven years and have watched the revolving door of members for that time. In the last eight months, I have observed many members leaving and attendance declining but unlike in the past, new members are not coming into the ministry. As a result of the declining membership and attendance numbers, the ministry is also experiencing low donations and the ministry is struggling to pay its bills. During the last few months, the significantly low donations have begun to threaten the future of New Hope. This proposal will address the problems that I have mentioned; it will also offer solutions that have the potential to provide significant relief to your ministry.

...Shaped the Philosophy of the Most Influential Head of the Nation of Islam Elijah Muhammad, son of a sharecropper, was born into poverty in Sandersville, Georgia, on in 1887. He was one of 13 children of William and Mariah (Hall) Poole; his father was a sharecropper, and his mother was a domestic worker. He grew up in the same town I grew up in as a child and where I was appointed in 2009 as the first African American in history to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, Cordele, Georgia. He attended school only through the fourth grade and dropped out to begin working in sawmills and brickyards. At an early age, Elijah witnessed extreme prejudice and violence toward blacks. He experienced lynchings, racist employers, marginal wages, and other social and economic maladies which all played a role in his exodus from Cordele. This essay will explore how Poole’s early life in Cordele played key role in shaping in role in the Nation of Islam, leadership, and later life and legacy. Elijah Poole Muhammad’s leadership transformed the Nation of Islam. Elijah Poole Muhammad’s early life began when his father, William Poole, Sr. and Mariah Hall joined in holy matrimony on January 9, 1887 in Sandersville, Georgia.
