Abstract
This paper critically examines Harriet Jacobs' 'Incidents In The Life of a Slave Girl'. The paper argues that one of the narrator's critical strategies for escaping her master's designs include gaining some limited control over her sexuality.
Overview:
Analysis of Text
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Jacobs focuses on many other themes tied in with this including highlighting her role as a mother and as a family member. Linda's role as mother serves to enhance her sexual agency and further inspires aggression and frustration from her would be perpetrator, Dr. Flint. However her motherhood also protects her in some ways from Dr. Flint's advances and affords her greater strength and purpose to carry on despite her harsh circumstances. Linda's narratives in the work include many themes that are evidenced in other slave narratives including stories and tales of survival and freedom, however the work is most well noted for its focus on sexuality and themes of motherhood (UNC, 2004). Jacobs focuses on the "cruel realities that plagued black women in the nineteenth century" (Gates, 2001; UNC, 2004). These realities are evidenced in Brent's inner thoughts and deeds including her decision to become a mother out of wedlock. "

Cold Hatred, 2007.
A discussion of "Where is the Voice Coming From?" by Eudora Welty.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Eudora Welty introduces her readers to the mind of a sociopath killer in her short story "Where is the Voice Coming From?". The paper discusses how the author strikingly illustrates the anatomy of racial hatred. The paper examines the short story that is a chilling account of a cold and calculated murder set in the South during the 1960s; the murder of a black man who had been campaigning for equal rights in the town of Thermopylae. The paper shows how the story is written in first person from the killer's perspective, without divulging his name, to allow Welty to retain a sense of moral distance from the character, who deserves no humanization or sympathy that a name would confer.
From the Paper
"The narrator is a resentful, spiteful man who murders Roland Summers because he hates seeing African-Americans achieving economic parity with whites, let alone superceding poor whites in the South. Throughout "Where is this Voice Coming From," the narrator reveals his resentful attitude. He says that the black man lives "pretty close to where I live," emphasis on the "I" to emphasize his hatred for simply living in the same region as black people. The narrator's resentment grows deeper and becomes more directly connected to economic parity. For example, he states, "his street's been paved," refers to his "new white car," and his "paved driveway.""

The 14th Amendment, 2007.
An examination of the history of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
2,057 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the Fourteenth Amendment was designed and legislated during the Presidency of Andrew Johnson. The paper discusses how this amendment, although intended to act as a linchpin for freedom and equality for all African-Americans after the Civil War, actually created consequential conditions which only aggravated the true plight of these courageous and often overlooked people. The paper focuses on the years 1866 to 1918.
From the Paper
"Following the appointment of Andrew Johnson as President of the United States on April 15, 1865, just one day after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, four states of the former Confederacy, namely, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Virginia, contained small groups of loyal men who had organized nominal state governments during the Civil War, all of which were recognized by Lincoln and then supported by Johnson. On May 29, 1865, Johnson appointed a provisional governor of North Carolina and told him to call a convention aimed at repealing the ordinance of secession and striking from the state constitution all references to slavery. Thus, with this simple process, President Johnson outlined identical plans for the reconstruction of the six remaining Confederate states."

Two African-American Philosophers, 2007.
This paper compares two early 20th century African-American leaders and philosophers: W.E.B. du Bois and B.T. Washington.
980 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Booker T. Washington, living in the South that still had not come to term with race equality, realized that he needed the support of the white majority to provide education and support for black causes. The author points out that, on the other hand, W. E. B. du Bois, living in the liberal North, wanted to see an America with social equality where individuals would be rewarded according to their merits not their color. The paper states that, in recent terminology, Washington's philosophy can be said to advocate apartheid; whereas, du Bois was the predecessor of the philosophy of Martin Luther King.
From the Paper
"When Washington complained of inequality he presented its effect not upon the black Americans but upon whites. If white southerners saw no reason for higher education for black Americans, Washington agreed. If southerners opposed voting for blacks, Washington went along and opposed it 'for present'. His views would certainly be
considered 'pathetic' by today's black Americans. Even in his own time, black activist Henry Turner declared "will have to live a long time to undo the harm he has done our race.""

The Clay Bill, 2007.
This paper presents the arguments of Daniel Webster and Calhoun on the "Compromise of 1850."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the 1850 Henry Clay laws that were later known as the Clay Bill or "Compromise of 1850." Henry Clay's proposition prompted much controversy, but was ultimately passed via two separate measures in Congress. The paper explains that Webster promoted passage of the Compromise of 1850 because he viewed unification of the north and south as the most important political issue for consideration. The paper examines how Calhoun approached the Compromise as an opportunity to discuss the evils of the power hungry north. The paper reveals that while at first glance it may seem that the Compromise of 1850 supported more free states and the abolition of slavery, in fact it made life more difficult for fugitive slaves.
Outline:
Introduction
Analysis of Text
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Daniel Webster promoted passage of the Compromise of 1950 through his speech, which highlighted the importance of creating a solidarity among people living in the north and the south. Webster's primary argument included the position that since the time of the Constitution much change had occurred within the states. Webster suggests that the North and South were once in agreement that slavery was at best an "immoral and an evil practice", and that such practice could only be considered "inhuman and cruel.""

From the Paper
"The nature and function of agape love in action requires a backward glance to traditional Greek mythology as communicated by Hesiod in particular, and poets and philosophers in general. According to Gordis, "The Greek epic poet Hesiod described human history as consisting of four successive ages, of gold, silver, copper, and iron, and the present was the last and the worst. The Prophets reversed this universal belief by positing the conviction that man's Golden Age lay in the future." While the Civil Rights Movement has not fully achieved all of its objectives, the movement managed to realize some fundamental reforms. For example, legal segregation as a system of racial control was dismantled, and African-Americans were no longer subject to the humiliation of various "Jim Crow" laws. According to Turner, "By 1956, a great deal of black blood had been spilled challenging the Jim Crow system, but the civil rights movement had achieved some major victories on the path to full black citizenship. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and Pres. Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty established the promise for full integration of African-Americans into society." Furthermore, a wide range of public institutions were opened to all citizens and African-Americans achieved the right to vote and the influence that went with that right in a free democracy; nevertheless, scarcely a day goes by the underlying racial tensions in America do not erupt in some form or another."

African-American Culture, 2007.
A discussion on the origins and makings of the African-American culture.
1,064 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper claims that the study of the historical evolution of states such as Ghana, Mali and Songhai is essential for understanding the differences in the cultural and social approaches. It explains that the African-American culture and the identity and sense of belonging of a shared system of values has been the result and the reaction to the violent contact the Africans were forced to have with their western oppressors.
From the Paper
"Despite this however, inside the territory that is nowadays defined by the African borders, different and distinct civilizations were emerging, each with it specificities, but at the same time they were manifesting themselves inside similar general guidelines. This is why, it can be said that the African culture was in fact one which developed in a rather secluded atmosphere, without the pressure or influences of other cultures. This can be explained by the fact that the European notion of geography in particular revolved around certain concepts such as terra nullius which reduced all non western world to the Christian project "which perceived itself in both its textuality and significance as the most perfect expression of human culture" (Middleton,1997, p. 18)"

Affirmative Action, 2007.
Argues that people should not rely on the reverse discrimination policy of affirmative action to get them what they want in life.
774 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that affirmative action is not a panacea for society's problems and injustices; it is a legal strategy to level the playing fields of academic and professional development. Laws alone cannot propel people into the lives they want; there must be the compliment of passion and commitment to overcome all obstacles in the pursuit of a personal goal. The paper argues that affirmative action does get minorities opportunities they would not otherwise have, yet ultimately the responsibility of achievement rests not with the government but with the individual.
From the Paper
"We live in a very competitive, very volatile global arena today and those that take the affirmation to make themselves more relevant and stronger in it will have the best assurance against discrimination: knowledge and a passion to apply it. Yet Affirmative Action seeks to control the circumstances of people's lives so they don't have to find that passion, and that is just wrong. Instead of making a persons' life easy, they should make the person stronger to overcome obstacles."

"On an average, African Americans are 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes than whites of similar age. For every six whites with diabetes, 10 African Americans have diabetes, accompanied with a 27 percent higher mortality rate. Nearly 3.2 million (13.3 %) of all African Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes and suffer from higher rates of serious complications, which include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, amputations, neuropathy, dental disease, and complication of pregnancy. Diabetes, one of the most common and costly health problems, is also among the most preventable diseases."

Niagara Movement, 2007.
This paper discusses W.E.B. Dubois and the Niagara Movement and looks at its importance for the African-American people.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the Niagara Movement reflected the growing opposition, going back to the days of the Civil War and President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation which freed the slaves from their bondage, towards racial discrimination. The writer looks at the Niagara Movement under the leadership of W.E.B. Dubois and William Moore Trotter which was initiated in order to create and maintain aggressive political and social action with the aim of securing full citizenship rights for all black Americans. The writer points out that in a declaration of principles, W.E.B. Dubois and the Niagara Movement made it clear that black Americans must accept certain duties in order to achieve their God-given rights, duties which Dubois clearly realized were essential for all black Americans and which today's African-Americans, by a very large majority, continue to respect on a daily basis.
From the Paper
"It has been pointed out by a number of historians and scholars that the selection of Harper's Ferry as the meeting place for the Niagara Movement in 1906 was a very radical decision which caused some concern among black intellectuals and forced many to distance themselves from the movement. One of these intellectuals was Booker T. Washington, then residing and teaching at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Washington at this time was widely considered as the quintessential distributor of philanthropic gifts and donations to black educational institutions throughout the United States and was prominent playing the role of appointing qualified blacks to jobs in the
federal government and acted as the strongest and most influential force in black America. Thus, his opposition to the Niagara Movement's decision to meet at Harper's Ferry paved the way for other prominent black Americans to choose not to be associated with the movement. Washington's opposition, in conjunction with a split between Dubois and Trotter, greatly weakened the movement to where within a few years it has lost much of its effectiveness and support."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the Reconstruction period and examines how the African-Americans were treated. The writer also discusses that there were issues that Caucasian individuals had to deal with as well, and many of these issues also affected the African-American population. The writer concludes that African-Americans have never completely gained their freedom, but things are working toward more freedom for African-Americans. The writer maintains that when they are no longer judged by the color of their skin, they will truly be free.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
African-Americans and Bias
Violence and Significance
Problems with Reconstruction
The Emancipation Proclamation
Land Grants and Job Opportunities
Masters and Freedmen
The Freedom of African-Americans
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Originally, the Reconstruction was hailed as a terribly boring time in U.S. history, but much of it is rich with interesting information and recently some credibility has come back to it, designating it a part of history that deserves further study. Many believed that everything that was learned and accomplished throughout the Reconstruction had been lost before it was actually over and that the idea of social improvement that it carried ended up being a failure. However, some of the things that were accomplished during the reconstruction and a great deal of what was learned remained with the country after it was over and built the foundations for many of the things that go on today.
The Reconstruction period was very valuable for many reasons and not all of these had to do with the emancipation of African-American individuals. Examples such as the slaves who took care of Jefferson Davis's plantation after he died indicated that African-Americans were very much interested in the reconstruction and found it very valuable."

Objective
Review Of The Literature
From the Paper
"When the surveys/questionnaires were complete the statement of a teacher was revealed as conveying that the critical factor to the success of African American students in advanced mathematics to be the factor of "high expectations and collaborative leadership" (Ibid) The teacher goes on to state that collaboration in the school in inclusive with assessment, curriculum and reform advisers working in cohesion together. The teacher stated specifically that "It's about having high expectations...it's not okay that because these kids come from poverty or from an unsupportive home, or because these parents aren't knocking on the door of the school, to accept low performance. If I got something that wasn't the best piece of work, before I might have excused it and thought, "Well they don't have anyone to help them a t home."" Now I'm asking: What can I do to aid this child, to give him or her more support? "(Ferguson & Holt, 2006)"

From the Paper
"However, this is not always true and some individuals may wish to be tested based on the fact that they believe a partner has cheated and possibly has contracted the virus. There are many reasons why individuals would want to be tested and there are many relatively innocent individuals who receive the disease from others in various ways even when they assumed that the other individual was safe and healthy. Since AIDS takes some time to show up and make the body sick, someone can contract the disease several years prior to actually showing any symptoms (Whitaker, 2001). If this individual is promiscuous during that time it is quite possible that he or she will spread the AIDS virus to a great many individuals before realizing that he or she has the virus."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, an American Slave". The writer looks at how this book describes the life of Frederick Douglas and discusses his life as a slave. The writer notes the hardships for such a slave, as the son of a black mother and a white master. The writer concludes that the book also describes how Frederick was chosen to go to Baltimore to serve in a household where he was taught how to read and write and he discovered that city slaves had more freedom than plantation slaves. Thus, the writer points out that Frederick's goal to become free was born and the means by which he was able do this was given him, unwittingly, by his Baltimore mistress.
Outline:
Chapter I
Chapter II
Chapter III
Chapter IV
Reference
From the Paper
"His mother was a very dark-skinned black lady named Harriet Bailey, but his father was white, probably her master. Frederick was taken away from his mother at about one, and his mother was sent away. He saw her only four or five times more during his life, for short visits in the night, when she would sneak away and come on foot, at great risk, to see him. She died when he was about seven years old, but he was not allowed to be at her side and, since he did not know her, was not emotional upon learning of her illness and death.
Because the master was also his father, Frederick talks about how much harder it is on those slaves sired by the master, because of the master's wife and her jealousies. As a result, the master must be harder on his black sons and Frederick says that the white son might tie up the black son, his half-brother, and whip him, overseen by the man that fathered them both, unless this half-white son is sold away, as he was."

Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation and critical review of Deidre Takeyama and Brian H. Kliener's 1998 article, which sheds light upon one aspect of discrimination that appears to encompass all other traits -employment discrimination. The paper discusses the soundness of the data reported, summarizes the content of the article and offers a personal evaluation/reaction to the material as well.
From the Paper
"By categorizing employment discriminatory acts typology the reader would have been made aware that subtle and covert employment discrimination are very difficult to see, document and remedy. In fact, these two types often last a great deal longer than overt discriminatory acts. If one reviews additional publications in the area of employment discrimination very few research manuscripts are available dealing with subtle and covert employment discrimination."

Perceptions of Slavery, 2007.
This paper compares the ideas of two authors, Albert Raboteau and Stanley Elkins, about the effects of slavery on the African-American mindset.
2,406 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper maintains that although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally ended discrimination of African-Americans, it did little to alleviate the attitude that continues to be an integral part of the racial landscape of America. The paper examines Stanley Elkins' "Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life" where he developed a stereotype that represented the composite effects of slavery on the African-American in the antebellum period. Elkins presents the slave as submissive, loyal and happy to serve his white masters. This differs significantly from the image presented by Albert J. Raboteau in his work "Slave Religion: The "Invisible Institution"", which presents the slave as belonging to a society that is rich in power that exists beyond the reach of white masters. The paper explains that the ideas of Elkins and Raboteau are seemingly contradictory but when one takes these two works in context, the slave could be described as the discreet zealot, the ultimate passive resistor.
From the Paper
"The effects of slavery are still a part of the American mindset, whether one wishes to admit it or not. We, as a society, like to point to events such as the Equal Rights Movement of the early 1960s as evidence that the effects of slavery are no longer a part of our society. However, even though the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally ended discrimination of African Americans, it did little to alleviate the attitude that continues to be an integral part of the racial landscape of America. Stanley Elkins attached this subject in his 1959 work, "Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life." In this work Elkin developed a stereotype that represented the composite effects of slavery on the African American in the antebellum period. His hypothesis surrounded the idea that these effects can still be seen in society today."

From the Paper
"The retention rate of African American males has been a hotly debate topic in the college domain. Although statistics have shown that the overall retention rate of African Americans within college has progressively increased, few studies have specifically focused on the African American male student within a predominantly white university. Michael J. Cuyjet explains in his book, "Helping African American Men Succeed in College", that African American males are different from females in several different categories that include course learning, exposure to campus activites, use of student unions, involvement in clubs and organizations, etc (Cuyjet, Chapt. 1). The goal of this research study is to find out exactly what the retention rate of African American males in white universities is, and what explicit and implicit factors impact the overall impact the retention rate. We will conduct a research design that will consider the multiple factors within retention rates and develop a quantitative metholodgy to measure the factors contributing to African American male retention rates."

From the Paper
"Since the days of slavery, African Americans have had to battle for rights that many people in the United States have been able to take for granted. The issue of slavery was put to rest many years ago, but the damage that the practice did to race relations is still a bruise on the hip of society as America works to provide true equality to those who reside in the states. If one were to trace the path of African American roots in the United States from the days of slavery until the 1960's, one would see a path filled with turmoil, angst, and hard earned victory in the area of civil rights for African Americans nationwide."
