Answer:

In 1973, David A. Walker, then a New York City Police Community Affairs Detective, joined by his partner Detective Ulysses Williams, developed the street game of Double Dutch into the World Class Sport that it is today. With the assistance of the physical education instructors at IS 10, Walker and Williams revitalized the game by developing it into a competitive team sport. On February 14, 1974, the first Double Dutch tournament was held with nearly 600 fifth, sixth, seventh and eight grade students participating.

How did Marquis de Condorcet galvanize the women’s rights movement in france

dem82 [27]

So he’s a pretty cool guy and was ahead of his time (wanting equal rights for all wasn’t so popular in the 18th century )
It was a very misogynistic time and the ideal woman would be one who’s submissive to her husband. But this was happening around the French Revolution and women were demanding to take part and to be heard in a way. They attempted riots and started attending political clubs.
Marquis wrote a newspaper article in support of political rights for women. (And people were pretty much shocked ) he wrote that frances women should get just as much political rights as men. Pretty shortly after that a small group of women started a small women’s rights club. Hope that helped somewhat :)
