Which text in this excerpt from Twenty Years at Hull House by Jane Addams demonstrates the lack of concern for poor Immigrant co

mmunities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence?
"One of the striking features of our neighborhood twenty years ago, and one to which we never became reconciled, was the presence of huge wooden garbage boxes" fastened to the street pavement in which the undisturbed refuse accumulated day by day. The system of garbage
collecting was inadequate throughout the city, but it became the greatest menace in a ward such as ours, where the normal amount of wasted was much increased by the decayed fruit and vegetables discarded by the Italian and Greek fruit peddlers, and by the residuum left over from
the piles of filthy rags which were fished out of the city dumps and brought to the homes of the rag pickers for further sorting and washing... "It is easy for even the most conscientious citizen of Chicago to forget the foul smells of the stockyards and the garbage dumps", when he is living
so far from them that he is only occasionally made conscious of their existence, but the residents of a Settlement are perforce constantly
surrounded by them. During our first three years on Halsted Street, we had established a small incinerator at Hull House, and "we had many
times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall." We had also arranged many talks for the immigrants, pointing out that although a woman may sweep her own doorway in her native village and allow the reuse to innocently decay in the open air and sunshine, "in a crowded city quarter, if the garbage is not properly collected and destroyed, a tenement-house mother may see her children sicken and die," and that the immigrants must therefore not only keep their own houses clean, but must also help the authorities to keep the city clean.

The text that demonstrates the lack of concern for poor Immigrant communities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence is:

"We had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall."

  • This text shows that the politicians are fully aware of the immigrants' poor neighborhood situation but chose not to act.
  • Since, they have been reported to, on many occasions, this means, they know, but are not ready to show concern.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "We had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall."

Identify What were the Freedom Rides?
TEA [102]

Q.1 What were feedom riders?

The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. Blacks sat in the front of the bus and whites sat in the back, opposite of the usual arrangements. There were multiple different rides from several different locations and a variety of people. At every stop, the freedom riders would use the opposite segregated facilities such as bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains

Q.2.where and when?

They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice.

Q.3who was involved?

The idea was conceived by The Congress of Racial Equality and the first ride involved 7 blacks and 6 whites who boarded the bus in Washington D.C. Many Freedom Riders were trained Civil Rights Activists who practiced peaceful protest and lead with bravery. Some were even involved in the diner sit in's the year before.

Q.4.why?

They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional but was failing to be enforced.

Boynton vs Virginia was a court case about a man named Bruce Boynton who was in a restaurant within a "white only" bus terminal and refused to leave. He was arrested for trespassing, but the offense was turned over by the Supreme Court because "white only" and "black only" areas were deemed unconstitutional through Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

This was also the next step towards anti-segregation that promoted the ideas brought on by diner sit in's that took place in the previous year.

The Freedom Rides also had the goal of gaining not only public attention but also the attention of the Kennedy Association in order to raise awareness of the rising Civil Rights Movement.
