Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

Answer:

The Red Lantern is a symbol of perseverance and determination.

Explanation:

The Red Lantern is given to the last musher who crosses the finish line and completes the Iditarod. The Iditarod Trail Committee lights a widows lamp in Nome on the first Sunday of March, the day of the restart. They hang it on the Burled Arch and it stays lit until the final musher crosses the finish line. It is then extinguished. This practice came from the days of the Gold Rush when dog sled teams were used to move freight and mail. Each roadhouse along the trail would light a kerosene lamp and hang it outside the roadhouse to help the mushers find their way in the snow and darkness. It was also a signal that there was a dog team out on the trail. The lamp was extinguished when the dog team safely reached its destination.

Answer:

for perseverance

Explanation:

The red lantern award is for the last place musher in the dog race (Iditarod) in Alaska.  The race is about a thousand miles from Anchorage to Nome and is given for the perseverance and determination of the last candidate to finish the race and for not giving up. The idea of the red lantern is from the previous years where a red lantern was placed on the last car of the train to warn other's from bumping into the train.

Why women and african americans have fought for the right to vote
Shtirlitz [24]
Starting with African-Americans; in America, they were first slaves, indentured servants, and even after the Civil War, after the Emancipation Proclamation, there was still a thing called "segregation" where they split up the African-Americans from the Caucasians, and this would happen with regular objects, such as water fountains and restrooms, and even schools. Then we have the buses, where African Americans had to sit in the back. Now, from this upcoming, you don't have much attention, or rights, so they had to fight for their right to vote, and they had to fight for a right to even exist as a regular human being. They finally gained the right to vote in 1965. And now for women, we had to fight because, back then, we were only seen as "property", we had to be supervised, we couldn't have actual jobs, back then you would be the typical house wife, cleaning, chores, teaching your daughter how to cook, and clean. And if we couldn't even come out of our houses unsupervised, what makes you think we can go out and vote? We couldn't vote because we didn't have a say/voice in anything. So that's where the women's rights movement came up, and we have to thank Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton, and Lucy Stone. The 19th amendment was passed in 1920, and we had the right to vote.
