A Gubernatorial Election is the election for the Chief Executive of a State, better known as a Governor.
Each State decides how often to elect a Governor and by what rules they want to elect but the typical term is four-years with a two term limit, similar to the US President.
The Navajo code was created by Philip Johnston. His father was a missionary, who spent years on a Navajo reservation, allowing Philip to grow up in contact with the language of the Navajo people, which made him learn this language fluently. The Navajo language was very complex, difficult to pronounce and write, which meant that very few people in the world, apart from the Navajos, could understand and learn that language.
Thus, the Navajo language became ideal for messages to be transmitted during the Second World War, without the enemy's army being able to decipher it.
The Navajo code was assembled by a set of Navajo words, where each word symbolized a phrase or other words in the English language.
An example is the word SO-A-LA-IH. In Navajo, this word means "star", but in the Navajo code it symbolized that the message provided was destined for Brigadier General Americano, since his insignia was a star.
During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states. It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery. First, literacy facilitated knowledge about the successful slave revolution in Haiti of 1791–1804, the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and the writings of abolitionists. Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.
She has a claim based on discrimination by association.
This term refers to the fact that a person is discriminated against based on their association with another person. In this case, Marla was fired because she was associated with a black and a biracial person, not because of her own actions, personality, or skin color. This is illegal as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids it.
