Текст на Статията
- K. Harvey of 5th hour presents to you:The fluctuating progress of Power, Protest, and Change
- This means no progress, or a step back
- This means progress
- Zigzag Road to Rights
- We don't agree with that!
- What to the Slave?
- For Shame!!
- Lincoln's second Inaugural Address
- In this text, it addresses the fact that even at the beginning times of the United States, anti-slavery actions were being taken. It wasn't spoken of/revealed for so long, that most didn't even know about it. Progress wasn't big at the time, but was achieved in smaller ways.
- Brown vs Board of education
- In Douglass's speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July", it is pointed out that freedom isn't prevalent in the United states, because of the continued acts of slavery. This speech, albeit not a change of law, was to hopefully change the opinions of those who assumed America was free. In other words, a victory because of a change of heart. No violence was used, Douglass simply hoping to get his point across to the thick headed slave owners.
- The Social Dilemma
- YOU'RE WRONG, I'M RIGHT
- In Lincoln's second inaugural speech, he returns to topics previously discussed during his first speech. This meaning that the issues still occurred, as neither side had won the war yet. Both sides were arrogant, refusing to be civil, and causing more bloodshed. In other words, a plateau in the progress of change.
- The Brown V Board of Education case was argued over a previous closed case, which was titled "Plessy v Ferguson". By reviewing the previous case, Brown vs Board proved that sometimes set laws need to be changed, and can be changed. It may take a while for that change to occur, to rewrite the law, but perseverance is key.
- As technology advances in society, people spend more and more time on their devices and social media. The news spread on these apps are usually biased, and make it harder to understand what it true, and what is false. When it's difficult to define one from the other, change can be hard to achieve, protesters fight for different meanings, and power as one is hard to achieve.
