Saddam formally rose to power in 1979, although he had already been the de facto head of Iraq for several years. He suppressed several movements, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements, which sought to overthrow the government or gain independence,and maintained power during the Iran–Iraq War and the Gulf War. Whereas some in the Arab world lauded Saddam for opposing the United States and attacking Israel he was widely condemned for the brutality of his dictatorship. The total number of Iraqis killed by the security services of Saddam's government in various purges and genocides is conservatively estimated to be 250,000. Saddam's invasions of Iran and Kuwait also resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. He acquired the title "Butcher of Baghdad".
In 2003, a coalition led by the U.S. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam, in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair falsely accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda. Saddam's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held. Following his capture on 13 December 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi Interim Government. On 5 November 2006, Saddam was convicted by an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'a, and sentenced to death by hanging. His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006.

Answer and Explanation:
Two of the most important elements that Anne Moody learned in her community were the devaluation of the work done by black people and the importance of education for social advancement. That's because Anne Moody, despite being an exceptional student, needed to work in white family homes as a cleaner or cook to get some money, which was very little and not a fair wage. It showed her how undervalued black people were, no matter what potential they had. Upon going to college, she realized how important education was for social advancement, because although blacks who had higher education were victims of racism, the friends she had in her community had adult lives much more devalued than her and other blacks who had access to higher education. By becoming involved with the civil rights movement, she realized that only with an egalitarian society, problems related to education and the valorization of work, in her community and in other black communities, would be resolved.
