    The Company's Dilemmas Facing Ford Motor Company

    Ford has created many cars such as the Model A and the Model T. It was Edsel Ford, who introduced the Mercury line to Ford. The family car was a popular item which attracted returning loyal customers. Ford was able to build many factories and many other models of cars throughout the years. Ford understood they were losing the market in the Mercury line. The production numbers showed as in 1978 there was 579.498 vehicles made.

    Kenneth S. Washington: Founding Father Of African American Sports

    In my opinion I think that Kenneth S. Washington was a founding father of African American sports. Kenneth S. Washington was a professional football player who was the first African American to sign a contract on March 9, 1946 with a National Football League team in the modern area. Washington was born August 31, 1918, he died June 24, 1971.

Also Kenny Washington played for the UCLA Bruins Kenny Washington who broke the black barrier, and he was in the college hall of fame but not in the NFL Hall of Fame.

    The Old Black Panther Versus the New Black Panther Party

    The sixties was a time in American society where the youth from the post-war baby boom era became teenagers and the young adults. The movement from the conservative fifties continued and eventually resulted in the revolutionary ways of thinking and change in the cultural of the American way of life. With an extreme admiration of no longer being an image of their predeceasing generation, young Americans wanted and demanded change. These changes affected education, values, laws, entertainment, and the way of life for several citizens around the country. As society, it is extremely important to understand that although the valiant efforts and impact that African American’s had, particularly in the 1950’s and 1960’s, in helping restructure American culture, many of the racist views of the past still play apart in American society. The 1950’s is often described as the calm before the storm of the 1960’s. During this time period, society was very much conformed to the views of conservative living. The desire for security during this era, reinforced by McCarthyism at home and the Korean War, created was known as the cold war culture. During the post WWII period in America, the face of the nation changed greatly under President Truman and Eisenhower. Because of extreme paranoia caused by Communism following WWII, conformity in the United States became an ideal way to distinguish American culture from the rest of the world.…

    Native American Mascots

    America loves appropriating African-American culture –even when black people don’t get that same love reciprocated. This appropriation is seen many times in pop culture, schools, and the media. In the passage, “Appropriating Native American Imagery Honors No One but the Prejudice” by Amy Stretton, she emphasizes that racial stereotyping and inaccurate racial portrayals do not honor a living breathing people. Similar to black culture, Native American culture is often appropriated through the use of mascots and offensive naming of sports teams. The following passage depicts the negative effects that stereotyping can have on a person’s identity.…

    History of Lacrosse

    Lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America, having been played by Native American tribes long before any European had even set foot on the continent. A century after European missionaries discovered the game played by Native Americans, they began to play it themselves, starting in the 18th century. From there, it evolved and grew in popularity from a very savage game that resembled war, into what it is today, a recreational sport played widely in America and other countries. As U.S. Lacrosse literature aptly puts it "Lacrosse is a game born of the North American Indian, christened by the French, adopted and raised by the Canadians, and later dominated by the Americans."…
