Martin Luther King's Stride Toward Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the 1958 book that
rose from the year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott. There was nothing truly miraculous about the
boycott itself, but such was not the case in what happened in the collective black psyche in
Montgomery during the course of the boycott. Racial shame began to diminish among the black
population; it may have begun to grow among the town's whites. Standard methods of
intimidation lost their powers, even to the point that KKK cross burnings were less effective than
at any other time. The act of civil disobedience that launched the year-long boycott was a small
one. The results it accomplished were immense. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Media: Portrayal Of White Suspects Compared To Black Suspects In The Criminal Justice System
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. One of the most damning aspects of racial stereotypes is the manner in which all members of a particular race become grouped together for the actions of a relative few. By casting the negative light of racial profiling toward being Black, Mexican, Asian or any number of other ethnic races, it shows a great deal of ignorance and disrespect for that individual; just because someone is a member of a certain race does not mean that they represent any of the negative connotations associated with that race. African-Americans and Latinos are victims of this sort of prejudice on a regular basis by being regularly interrogated by law enforcement. It can readily be argued that the police are decidedly more prejudice toward some races than they are toward others; for this reason, certain races are badgered with no other justification than because of their color. However, law enforcement officials are not the only ones who misconstrue reality and perpetuate racial discord, inasmuch as the media have long incited controversy by participating in racial profiling. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Myths, Ghosts and the American Slave Psyche as Portrayed in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing myths and the acceptance of the ghost Beloved in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved”. As examination of the myths and superstitions which were believed by the American slaves were a fragment of the cultural beliefs from their African heritage and had a great effect on the psyche of the slaves. Africans and the American slaves believed that the ghosts of the dead continued to exist within the household in order to aid the families when needed and to punish them when they misbehaved; were reminders of the past; and, when the ghosts or the past were forgotten or repressed, people would suffer. The ghost Beloved in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” is representative of many different things depending upon the perception of each character and their interpretation of what the past meant to them. The ghost is described as evil, beautiful, sad, lonely or mad depending on which characters perceive as the ghost’s representation of the past. In keeping with the African myth, the characters in the novel, Sethe in particular, must remember and account for their past in order to survive in the future. Morrison makes several comparisons of the African American psyche and the African psyche as well as the colonial effect on this psyche. In addition, “Beloved” also includes references to the classic mythical creature of the snake as a symbol of rebirth as Beloved can be perceived as Sethe’s rebirth.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
