How does Hannah-Jones expand on this quote from sociologist Glenn Bracey: ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth

to ourselves”?

Tomtit [17]2 years ago

This question refers to the essay "The Idea of America" by Hannah-Jones. In this essay, Jones talks about the way Black people experienced, and impacted, the Revolutionary War in the United States. She tells us that:

<em>"...as the sociologist Glenn Bracey wrote, ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth to ourselves.’’ For as much as white people tried to pretend, black people were not chattel. And so the process of seasoning, instead of erasing identity, served an opposite purpose: In the void, we forged a new culture all our own."</em>

The explanation the author gives in this text expands on the quote by describing how Black people were able to develop their own selves. We learn that Black people were considered "chattel" and that they were denigrated, minimized and ignored constantly. However, this did not lead to the erasure of their culture. Instead, out of these harsh experiences, Black people were able to create their own identity in a way that continues to our day.

Answer:  the county of Edessa (1097–1150); the principality of Antioch (1098–1287) this is for number 2

1. When Pope Urban had said these and very many similar things in his urbane discourse, he so influenced to one purpose the desires of all who were present that they cried out, ‘It is the will of God! It is the will of God!’’’

So wrote the monk Robert of Rheims in his Historia Hierosolymitana (‘History of Jerusalem’) during the early 1100s. Some years earlier, on 27 November 1095, Urban II preached a public sermon outside the town of Clermont in central France, summoning Christians to take part in the First Crusade, a new form of holy war. It was a carefully stage-managed event, in which the pope’s representative, the papal legate Adhémar of Le Puy, supposedly moved by the pope’s eloquence, tore up strips of cloth to make crosses for the crowds. Urban had been travelling through France accompanied by a large entourage from Italy, dedicating cathedrals and churches and presiding over reforming councils, and his proposed crusade was part of a wider programme of church reform. In March that year, at the Council of Piacenza, a desperate Byzantine emperor, Alexius I Comnenus, had pleaded for western help against the Seljuk Turks, whose conquests were decimating Byzantium and preventing Christians from reaching pilgrimage sites. Urban wanted to extend the hand of friendship to the Orthodox church and to heal the schism with Catholicism, which had gone from bad to worse since the time of his predecessor Leo IX.

We have a number of accounts of Urban’s speech, contemporary and later, although they differ somewhat in what they record. Yet we know that he called on knights to vow to fight in a penitential pilgrimage on Christ’s behalf, in a war to defend the Holy Land from Muslim oppressors, and that he used the Christian symbol of the cross as an emotive sign of commitment to the enterprise. Urban promised the crowds that crusading would not just benefit the church and European Christian society but their own souls, since all sins, past and present, would be wiped away through his dramatic promise of the ‘remission of sins’.

Use your judgment and your understanding of US history to select four events of greatest importance from the timeline. List the
Hunter-Best [27]

The correct answer to this open question es the following.

Although the question is incomplete and does not provide a list to elaborate on the timeline, we can say that the events that are important to understanding the Vietnam War are the following.

First, we have to understand what happened during the French colonization period in the region of Vietnam, which was known as French Indochina. The problems arose until the degree that the Soviet Union, China, and finally the United States had to intervene in the conflict between the two Vietnams.

During World War II, Vietnamese leader H* Chi Minh created the League for the Independence of Vietnam, and in 1945 he promulgates the independence of North Vietnam, establishing Communism.

That is when the US entered into the conflict because President Harry Truman was decided to stop the Soviet Union and its spread of Communism. The US supported South Vietnam. China and the USSR supported North Vietnam.

In 1954, the Geneva Accords established the border between North and South Vietnam. Ngo Dinh became the leader of South Vietnam. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy sent troops and helicopters to Vietnam.

In 1964, after the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the US Congress authorized more powers for the US President to use the force against North Vietnam.

In 1965, President Johnson send more troops to Vietnam, but in America, people started to question the US involvement in that war. By 1967, young people, students, and citizens if the US took the streets and protest against US participation in the Vietnam War.

In January 1968, the Tet Offensive represents a major set back for the US.  Richard Nixon became President of the US in November 1968. President Nixon started what was known as Vietnamization, and order some US troops stationed in Vietnam to return to the US.
