s the United States entered the 20th century, African Americans faced a new and challenging landscape. A mere thirty-five years after the abolition of slavery, the majority of African Americans had learned to read and hundreds were heading to colleges and universities to continue their studies. The 1900 Paris Exposition created by W.E.B. DuBois showcased the gains that African Americans had made since emancipation.
However, many of the freedoms gained during the era of reconstruction were beginning to disappear. It became more and more difficult for African Americans to vote; the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling made segregation the law of the land; and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camelia tried to reverse the successes of African Americans, sometimes using violence and lynching to strike fear in the African American community.
Many contributed to the debates on how best to secure and advance the rights of African Americans, but one of the major contributors was the educator Booker T. Washington. Washington, the leader of Tuskegee Institute, stated his views in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1895.

One government reform enacted in the Chinese Tang dynasty was its emphasis on education. It was one of the reforms that contributed the dynasty’s success. The Tang rulers did not feel that a well-educated people is a threat to the government. For the rulers, an educated public is a foundation of a stable and prosperous society. Unlike other forms of government who feared intellectuals, the Tang dynasty embraced knowledge and education, thus, encouraging its people to have a form of education.<span> </span>
The 1970s are remember as an era when the women’s rights, gay rights and environmental movements competed with the Watergate scandal, the energy crisis and the ongoing Vietnam War for the world’s attention
Spartan women were more fierce. They used to tell their husbands going into battle to "Come back with your shield or on it", which means basically win or die. Athenian women were more focused on cooking and cleaning and being stereotypical. Hope this helps :)<span />
