Read this excerpt: "Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I fee

l that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity."

Now is the time to stand up against racial inequality
Now is the time to change the world
Now is the time to be silent

Five question summary of the story Scout's Honor Who is the main character,What happens in the story,When it happened,Where it h
bixtya [17]

Answer and Explanation:

"Scout's Honor" is a short story by author Edward Irving Wortis. First, let's briefly answer each question. Then, let's put the answers together and form the summary.

Who is the main character?

A nine-year-old boy who is a Boy Scout.

What happens in the story?

He and his two friends who are also Boy Scouts need to go camping alone to move up to Second Class. They decide to camp at a park in New Jersey, but the trip and the camping are a disaster. They fail miserably, but choose to not tell the Scoutmaster about it.

When it happened?

The story as a whole is set in 1946. The specific events take place on a Saturday.

Where it happened?

Bits of the story take place in Brooklyn, on a subway train, and at the park.

Why it happened?

It was a rainy day, which made things more difficult. Also, the boys were proud; they did not want to acknowledge and admit their fears and weaknesses. That is why the whole thing was a disaster.

Summary:

<u>In 1946, a nine-year-old boy and his two best friends are told they should go camping on their own. They are Boy Scouts, and they need to complete the camping task in order to move up a class. The boys live in Brooklyn, and the closest place that resembles the "country" is a park in New Jersey.</u>

<u>One Saturday, the boys take the subway to go to the park where they will camp. This is when things begin to go wrong. They are young, immature, and very proud. Each boy is trying to prove to the others that he is the toughest one in the group. However, they all make mistakes, forget items that should be taken, take items that should be left home, and so on. Besides that, it is raining cats and dogs, so the boys have a hard time setting up a shelter and building a fire. In the end, they are exhausted and afraid. They choose to go back home after their fiasco, but not before swearing not to tell the Scoutmaster about it.</u>

Why are HBCUs an important part of American culture?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

HBCUs provide a stable and nurturing environment for those most at risk of not entering or completing college: low-income, first-generation college students. Many of these students are academically underprepared for college, yet they're precisely the students that the country most needs to obtain college degrees.
