Answer:

Explanation:

To break such a large topic down to a thesis length argument, this project focuses

on five women who particularly affected the Mississippi agitation for voting equality:

Clarie Collins Harvey, Fannie Lou Hamer, Victoria Jackson Gray Adams, Unita

Blackwell, and Casey Hayden. Featuring these particular women is not intended to

insinuate in any way that they are more important than women not featured; far too many

women played significant and heroic roles in the Mississippi struggle to feature all of

them. Rather, the hope of this research is to illuminate five particular heroines.

Clarie Collins Harvey founded Womanpower Unlimited to assist jailed Freedom

Riders and quickly built a full-fledged Civil Rights organization from it. Fannie Lou

Hamer grew up on a cotton plantation in the Mississippi Delta; a viciously cruel

environment which sculpted her into a brazen and forceful campaigner against the

atrocities of Jim Crow economics. Victoria Jackson Gray Adams organized many

meetings and rallies in the extremely dangerous Hattiesburg area and taught African

Americans the essential reading and citizenship knowledge needed to pass registration

tests. Unita Blackwell rose from political novice to helping organize the Mississippi

Freedom Democrat Party. Casey Hayden was a founding member of the Student

Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) who brought her fierce anti-segregation

beliefs and organizational talents to the Mississippi movement from east Texas via

Atlanta.

Though these women may have engaged in different activities, the common

thread throughout all of their activism was concentration on grassroots-level organization

pickupchik [31]

What are some reasons why young people joined the red guards

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

According to a Red Guard leader, the movement's aims were as follows:

Chairman Mao has defined our future as an armed revolutionary youth organization...So if Chairman Mao is our Red-Commander-in-Chief and we are his Red Guards, who can stop us? First we will make China Maoist from inside out and then we will help the working people of other countries make the world red...And then the whole universe.[2]

Despite being met with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past, including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. However, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, who were even allowed to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents. The movement quickly grew out of control, frequently coming into conflict with authority and threatening public security until the government made efforts to rein the youths in. The Red Guard groups also suffered from in-fighting as factions developed among them. By the end of 1968, the group as a formal movement had dissolved.

In a self-checked, one-page essay, weigh whether there was a Reagan Revolution. Did the election of Reagan indicate a change in

photoshop1234 [79]

Although many of his movie roles and the persona he created for himself seemed to represent traditional values, Reagan’s rise to the presidency was an unusual transition from pop cultural significance to political success. Born and raised in the Midwest, he moved to California in 1937 to become a Hollywood actor. He also became a reserve officer in the U.S. Army that same year, but when the country entered World War II, he was excluded from active duty overseas because of poor eyesight and spent the war in the army’s First Motion Picture Unit. After the war, he resumed his film career; rose to leadership in the Screen Actors Guild, a Hollywood union; and became a spokesman for General Electric and the host of a television series that the company sponsored. As a young man, he identified politically as a liberal Democrat, but his distaste for communism, along with the influence of the social conservative values of his second wife, actress Nancy Davis, edged him closer to conservative Republicanism. By 1962, he had formally switched political parties, and in 1964, he actively campaigned for the Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater.
