Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko are best-known as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. But all four were also among thousands of artists and other creatives employed by the government through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between the years of 1935 and 1943. That the arts would be funded significantly by the federal government—never mind that it would actively employ artists—may well raise an eyebrow today. But working under a subdivision of the WPA known as the Federal Art Project, these artists got to work to help the country recover from the Great Depression, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Evidence of impoverishment and a portfolio showcasing one’s skills and commitment to the arts were all that was needed to qualify for the WPA initiative. This and the Federal Art Project’s non-discrimination clause meant that it attracted, and hired, not just white men but also artists of color and women who received little attention in the mainstream art world of the day. These artists created posters, murals, paintings, and sculptures to adorn public buildings.
Answer:
The plaintiffs contend that segregated public schools are not equal and cannot be made equal and that hence they are deprived of the equal protection of the laws.
Explanation:
Three.
The tradition began with the current Queen's grandfather, King George V, in 1932.
When he died, his eldest son, King Edward VIII, did not deliver a Christmas message due to his abdication of the throne.
Edward's younger brother, King George VI, resumed the practice (albeit sporadically at first).
After George's death, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, who is the current Queen of England, continued the tradition set by her father.
So in total, that gives us three monarchs who have delivered a Royal Christmas Message:
1) George V
2) George VI
3) Elizabeth II
Answer:
A duty is what you owe to your fellow human as a fact of nature, and an obligation is what has been imposed by contract or custom. Generally, one is “obliged,” or “obligated,” by agreement or because of having received a benefit. If you take candy from a store, you have an obligation to pay for it.
1- The United States Congress declared war on May 13, 1846. Americans from northern states and whigs (Republicans) generally opposed the war, while southern slavers and Democrats supported it.
The elements of anti-slavery in the north feared the expansion of the power of the slavers. The Whigs, in general, were interested in being able to strengthen the US economy through industrialization, not in acquiring more territory. Among the most strongly opponents in the House of Representatives was John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts. Adams for the first time made known his concern to expand the US territory in 1836 when he opposed the annexation of Texas. He continued with his arguments until 1846 for the same reason that the acquisition of territory in the south of the country would add territory to the slave states.
2- Both the agricultural sector and the textile industry were the main income producers of the state of South Carolina.
The predominance of the primary sector and the basic industry was the common denominator of the southern United States, whose economic development depended on a large percentage of African slaves, because it took a large amount of labor to develop these activities.
3- In 1860, the abolitionist Republican Abraham Lincoln won in the presidential elections of that year. South Carolina, fearing that Lincoln would definitively abolish slavery in the country, decided to separate from the United States. The state did so on December 20 of that year, being the first US state to separate itself from the rest of the country. Subsequently, ten other states would also be separated from the United States, and immediately joined to form the Confederate States of America.
