What did thurgood marshall (who would later become a supreme court justice) mean when he said "90 odd years is pretty gradual?"?

1 answer:

4 0

In this quote, Thurgood Marshall is talking about the time between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (which was supposed to free slaves in the Confederacy) to the Brown vs. Board case which ruled that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.

The reason he brings up these two events is because it shows how little progress American society has changed in these 90 years. Even though African-Americans were supposed to be free citizens after the Emancipation Proclamation, they were still treated as second class citizens in the US. They were constantly targets of voter discrimination, violence, and prejudice.

If you believe in the idea of Pro Choice, a woman should have the right to choose whether or not she wants to have a baby, what

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

okay so I don't believe in the whole pro choice but but my mom does and I have a idea of what she would say. Once again I don't believe in pro choice, its the womans body and they should do as they please with their body so don't come after me :)

If a woman has the right to choose to either keep the baby or to get rid of it. Then the woman should keep the baby because it's her responsibility. She chose to get pregnant now she must take care of it because it's like abandoning it.

or or

Incase of a survivor of you know. I know it's so frustrating but my mother has said this and it's have her keep the baby because it's not the baby's fault and the person should have been more careful. cause the kid didn't ask to born or created. (when she said this we got in such a big argument)

anyways I hope this is some help

abundance of large animals

decrease in sea levels

extinction of mammoths

increase in vegetation

warmer global climate

Answer:

decrease in sea levels

increase in vegetation

warmer global climate

Explanation:

At the end of the Ice Age, there was a decrease in sea levels which allowed humans to have easier movement to navigate around the world.

There was an increase in vegetation which was as a result of the decrease in sea levels, allowing more plants and vegetables to grow and flourish.

In addition, there was also warmer climates which helped the remaining ice to melt off and for the vegetation to grow and be replenished.
