"Beginning in the 1930s, with the city's black population increasing and whites fleeing to the suburbs, the black vote became a precious commodity to the white politicians seeking to maintain control" (Green, 117). Many of the mayors such as Edward J. Kelly, Martin H. Kennelly, and Richard J. Daley won over the blacks and got their votes for them to become mayor. The black population grew by 77 percent by the 1940. The white population dropped from 102,048 to 10,792 during the years of 1940 to 1960

In the early morning of August 31, 1888, Jack the Ripper named his first victim. Mary Ann Nichols was a homeless prostitute who worked in the district of Spitalfields. Between one o’clock and two o’clock, Mary was thrown out of her lodging house at 18 Thrawl Street, Spitalfields. Fate had dealt her a rough hand. She was a 43-year-old mother of five children, separated from her husband. This forced her into prostitution. An hour or so after losing her lodging, she was seen by one of her roommates
Serial killers have long held morbid intrigue for many people, but none so much as Jack the Ripper, a London murderer from the late 1880’s. By historical standards, Jack the Ripper was not particularly prolific; he had five victims, in stark contrast to a murderer like Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who had over 650 victims, but unlike Elizabeth Bathory, Jack the Ripper was never given a name. Today, with technology and forensic knowledge we possess, will we be able to name the infamous assassin? Jack
To Live or not To Live: The Choice Is Yours "What do we mean when we say 'life'? Do we mean the continued functioning of the body? Of the brain? Or do we mean the continued experience of the human being?" (Pridonoff, pg. 73). Many doctors are now performing what is known as physician-assisted suicide, which is when a doctor sets up a machine, but the patient actually kills him or herself. Whereas, euthanasia is the act of the doctor killing the patient. There are two sides to this issue. One
MARTIN KOSMINSKI Martin Kosminski first came under suspicion by theorists after researchers noticed a link between Martin Kosminski and Joseph Hyam Levy. It was Levy who supported Kosminski's naturalization application in 1877 and was also one of the witnesses who saw a man with Catherine Eddowes shortly before she was murdered. Levy became distressed by the couple for reasons which are not clear, this has led to speculation that he may have recognized the man he saw with Eddowes that night, as

contradiction in an unwise idealist’s attitude and his speech, and also how it drove the whole family into a horrible tragedy as well. The little Guy is in the play and his role is Boukman, who was the leader of Haiti revolution in late 1700’s. Celucien Joseph describes: In the night of August 22, 1791, which initiated the Haitian Revolution, Dutty Boukman, a slave and religious leader gathered a gang of slaves and uttered one of the most important prayers in the Black Atlantic religious thought.1 The prayer

Rodgers and Hammerstein Collaborations Oklahoma! The first collaboration of Rodgers and Hammerstein was entitled Oklahoma! The idea of the musical came from a play called Green Grow the Lilacs, written by Lynn Riggs in 1931. This story is about the state of Oklahoma at the turn of the century, when the Indian Territory joined the United States. It is the story of a girl named Laurey Williams and her (sort of) love triangle with two boys by the names of Curley McClain and Jud Fry. Laurey is in love
Prozac At first it was the cure all people were looking for. Then it became the drug they were afraid to take.

It is mainly prescribed to patients suffering from clinical depression. It was first brought to the market in 1988 by the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly co. Even though it was originally prescribed for depression, it has been prescribed

Emergent-Emerging Writing An essay written by Paul Valéry is titled "Le Situation de Baudelaire," translated in the Collected English Works as "The Place of Baudelaire." Our translators may have taken liberties here, for if Valéry wanted to say "place" would he not have said "lieu" or "endroit"? "Place" comes via Middle English and Middle French alike from Latin "platea," a street or courtyard, whereas both the English and French "situation" are straight from Latin "situ," place. Why

However, not many people have the same emotional connection to the events at Pearl Harbor, as does the former Admiral Husband Edward Kimmel, the man who was in the position of “Commander-in-Chief” at Pearl Harbor. The events of this day caused his rank of “Admiral” to be removed. Kimmel’s Military Background Admiral Husband E. Kimmel grew up in Henderson, Kentucky as one of
The Censorship of Art While the censorship of art is not a new phenomenon, recent years have witnessed renewed and intensified attempts to control popular culture. In particular, rap and rock music have come under increasing attack from various sides representing the entire left and right political spectrum, purportedly for their explicit sexual and violent lyrical contents. In this paper is investigated which moral codes underlie these claims against popular music, how social movements mobilize
