History

Central High School was critical during the Civil Rights movement because it was one of the first high schools in the US where African-Americans enrolled in a previously all white high school. These students, who became known as the Little Rock 9, enrolled at Central High School for the 1957-1958 school year. This was just a couple years after the Supreme Court case, Brown vs. Board of Education, ruled that separate but equal facilities for blacks and whites are illegal.

Despite this Supreme Court ruling, Central High School refused to let these students attend. Dwight D. Eisenhower, president of the US, used federal troops to protect these students and to make sure they were able to attend school.

Students should visit this site because it allows them to see where, for the first time ever, the president used federal troops to escort students to school. Along with this, it represents how racially divided America was during the 1950's and allows students to see how far the US has come.

How did the white people in the movie react to segregation?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Throughout the film, Vivian has consistently disrespected Dorothy and failed to give her the promotion she deserves. But in this private women-only space, where everyone pees the same color, we see for the first time, Vivian engaging her co-worker as a human being. “Despite what you think, I don’t have anything against y’all,” Vivian says. It’s one of the film’s most resonant moments: America may not have racially segregated bathrooms anymore, but it’s still rife with Vivian’s way of thinking, with the cognitive dissonance that allows people to support racist policies while decrying racism, or to cheer a film like Hidden Figures while believing that trans people shouldn’t be allowed equal access to public restrooms. In response, Dorothy fixes Vivian with a pitying gaze and delivers one of the film’s most stirring lines: “I know you probably believe that.”

What is the purpose of federal antitrust laws
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The Federal Government enforces three major Federal antitrust laws, and most states also have their own. Essentially, these laws prohibit business practices that unreasonably deprive consumers of the benefits of competition, resulting in higher prices for products and services.

a royal colony is owned by the crown and a proprietary colony is owned by wealthy individuals or companies
Vsevolod [243]
This would be true. A royal colony is owned by the crown, meaning that the ruler of the dynasty owns the colony. A proprietary colony is owned by wealthy individuals or companies.

What three factors were present in the U.S that sparked the industrial revolution after the civil war?
valkas [14]

Answer:

Industrial Production, Agricultural Production, Iron Smelting, Coal Extraction, The Railways, Steam Power

Explanation:

People like Abraham Darby found a successful way of extracting iron from rocks by using process involving coal. This massively increased the production of iron, which could then be used to produce steam engines, agricultural and industrial machinery, railways and bridges. (→ Industrial Production, Agricultural Production, the Railways & Steam Power) People like Humphrey Davy invented a new type of safely lamp which enabled coal miners to work longer hours in deeper pits without fear of explosions. This led to an increase in the production of coal, which was needed to power steam machines and for smelting iron. (→ Industrial Production, Iron Smelting & Steam Power) People like Isambard Kingdom Brunel improved the transport network immensely by building railways and bridges for the new steam trains. This meant that fuel and people could be moved into the new industrial factories and goods could be carried away. (→ Industrial Production & Steam Power)People like James Watt produced effective steam engines powered by coal that made industrial and agricultural machines run more quickly and which led to the development of steam trains. (→ Industrial Production, Agricultural Production & The Railways)
