The Power of Non- Violence in class activity

        In this blog I will discuss the passage Testament of Hope edited by James M. Washington on one of its main ideas that Martin Luther King Jr. uses non- violence to get his point across.  In the passage “The Power of Non- Violence” on it discusses that the point of having a peaceful protest is not to humiliate but to befriend and create understanding with them and win them over. It also states that the protestor is not support to hate the person but instead love them, just hate their actions.  It also talks a little bit about religion. That because God loves everyone the protestor should also love everyone.  In addition, the white people where getting upset because the followers of Martin Luther King Jr. we’re not responding the way they had expected the protestor to act. Martin Luther King Jr. is an African American man that believed and followed in full devotion non- violence protest.

Blog for Cooper #4 thoughts on the cluster

One of the common themes that I have noticed in all three classes is the distinction of something being expected to be followed and something actually being fallowed. In Linguistic class there is the prescriptive approached and the thought that in today nobody really follows this rules. In human rights there is the difference between theory and reality when it comes to the law and how it pursued in a daily day basis. In English 101 there is the though of actual justice being done and the theoretically justice. This is shown in the book Southern Horrors and Other Writings in the action of lynching. The class being diverse does not really change the cluster. However, it does make the class discussion more interesting.

biography

    My name is Melina Del Carmen Baez. I was born in Dominican Republic on October 13,1993. My dad made the family come to the United States, when I was 5. I first lived in Washington Height in New York. After 5 years my parents decided to move to Jamaica Queens. In my point of view it is an extreme change of environment.  I don’t really have any hobbies. I just view my life as a puzzle that need to be put together. I first attended PS 132 in Manhattan from kindergarten to 4^th grade. However, I did third grade at Dominican Republic. Then, I went to PS 160 from fifth grade to six grade. I attended also IS 8 as my Junior High from 7^th grade to 8^th grade. After all of that I went to John Bowne High School in Flushing.

    I believe Human Rights are a very important part of every person’s life. Mainly because it can change a person life depending on how many rights that person has.  I am fluent in Spanish and English. However, sometimes I mispronounce words or speak Spanglish.  

key words

In The Anti-Lynching Campaign of Ida B. Wells, 1892-1900 it is shown that Negro domination was very crucial after the slave’s days. Negro domination is when the white people tried to overrule the Africans Americans other known as white supremacy. It is clearly stated in this work of literature “as no white man has been lynched for the murder of colored people” (Royster 76). This quote explains what occurred this is because many of the African Americans got lynched for the murder of a white man. This is a perfect example how anarchy helped the white people believe they had more power. This is by not having consequences for murders depending on the person’s race.

The Third Blog Lynching and thought of Ida B. Wells

     Lynching is when the people believe that justice was not done and decide to take matters into there own hands. In this blog, I am going to prove that after the civil war there was still white supremacy by the use of lynching this will be proven through the text Southern Horrors and Other Writings edited by Jacqueline Jones royster. In this work of literature it is introduced Ida B Wells a writer and creator of Free Speech. She explained that the lynching after the Civil War was uncivilized the excuses where in actuality not valuable enough to take a life.
    One of the excuses that was used after the Civil War by white people in order to lynch African Americans was the raping of white women. Wells went against this idea and stated that if during the slaves day the white men was attracted to the African American women why could it not be reciprocal (Royster 29). She also pointed out that many of the ladys lied and said they got raped in order to save there reputation and dignity and for them not to get in trouble (Royster 57). This is shown in the case of the wife of a minister. It is stated " I had several reasons for telling you. One was the neighbors saw the fellow here...  another was that I feared I might give birth to a negro baby. I hoped to save my reputation by telling you a deliberate lie"(Royster 54). She had explained this to her husband after and he asked her why she had lied this was her response clearly stating that it was a lie to save her reputation. This shows how smart the white women during this time where they knew that there word would overcome a negro word.

        My though of how language relates to human rights is that sometimes we use language to give or deprive someone some rights. Human rights are the rights that every human should have. Language is a way of expression and communication. We can also use language to convey our thought about the way the law is interpreted into the society.  In this book or group project I will most likely contribute an essay or short story mainly aiming at bullying or feminism. I picked this two subject mainly because I can relate to them and put my personal experience as a very interesting example.
