THE UNSPOKEN HISTORY BEHIND A SURNAME

English

s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

"The Unspoken History Behind a Surname" is an article written by Lolly Bowean. The author through this article shares her experience when people inquire about the origin of her surname.

The author writes that when people probe her about her origin, at times it is painful to discuss it. As it will mean to go back to the times of enslavement and the legacy of Americans. The author says that when, once a lady asked her about her origin and she explained to her how Boweans came from through the marrriage of 'Norwoods' and 'Wakefields', the lady almost whispered that 'they were whites.'

<u>The author then recalls how difficult it becomes, at times, to discuss about her origin as the baggage of race comes upon her. She says that though she is not ashamed of her enslaved ancestors, but people rarely wants to discuss about the history</u>.

So, the correct answer is option D.

Answer:

Explanation:

People have the right to speak out. It is important because

1. We have the right to speak out. Our Bill of Rights is like the American first 10 amendments. It is our duty as well as our right to speak when those rights are threatened.

2. We have the right to uphold the rights of someone else if we do not cause trouble doing it. Same as the American 1st Amendment.

3. We have the right to worship any God we choose as long as we do not deny others that same right. That in Canada has been a contentious issue with both the Japanese and the Jehovah's Witnesses. The right to try to peaceably try to convert others to a faith is a hard won right both in Canada and the United States. Peaceably is the Key word.

4. We have the right and the duty to print literature as long as we do not use the printing press to promote hate. Canadian Neo  Nazi  is a particularly  deep issue and they have been brought to court many times. I don't know where that issue currently stands, but the courts struck down the threat of striking down their rights to publish.

5. We have the right to gather together to protest something as long as we do it peacefully -- which is a hard right currently. The peaceably part is getting stretched in the United States. I don't know what the outcome of that will be, but demonstrations have always been a way of life in the US and Canada. Sometime when you have a few moments you ought to look at the Vietnam objections.

6) the right to vote was hard won but the Women in the United States particularly. It took 144 years to get the 19th Amendment in America. Canada did 3 years earlier. The women in the US did through peaceful demonstration. It was important to speak out.

7) Civil rights. Martin Luther King. Passive Resistance. Success look it up. There are a lot of examples.
