    In 1791, Andrew Jackson married Rachel Donelson, a woman who had just separated from a brief and abusive marriage to a Kentucky man.

He staunchly defended his wife and the attacks on her character throughout his presidential campaign. Only weeks before her husband's inauguration, Rachel Jackson died of a heart attack.

    Katherine Dunham Research Paper

    Born June 22, 1909, in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, near Chicago, Dunham enjoyed the security of a middle-class suburban existence for the first four years of her life. Her father, Albert Millard Dunham, was a tailor who had his own business in Chicago. Her mother, Fanny June Guillaume Taylor, who was twenty years older than her husband, was an assistant principal at a city school. Dunham's life changed drastically though, in 1914, when her mother became seriously ill and died, leaving Albert to raise Katherine and her older brother, Albert Jr, alone. Eventually, financial obligations forced Katherine's father to sell the family's home, sacrifice his business, and accept a job as a traveling salesman. Over the next few years, Katherine and Albert Jr, stayed with their aunt Lulu Dunham and various relatives in sections of Chicago. They stayed first with cousins Clara Dunham and her 17-year-old daughter. Both were actresses, and lived in an apartment that was also used as a rehearsal space for a black vaudeville show, which they were producing. Later, they moved in with another cousin, who took Katherine to shows at the local theaters, where she delighted in the…

    Mary Mcleod Bethune Research Paper

    Can you imagine being denied the right to read and write all because of the color of your skin? Mary Jane McLeod Bethune was denied this right when a white child snached a book away from her because it was illegal for a black person to learn how to read (Hine, 2000). Mary McLeod Bethune was born on July 10, 1875 by Mayesville, South Carolina. She was an educator, civil rights leader, and government official who founded the National Council of Negro Women and Bethune-Cookman College (“National Council of Negro Women, Inc.” n.d.). Bethune’s impressive life inspired women to become anything they wanted to be by helping pave the way for black women education. Mary Jane McLeod Bethune died May 18, 1955 in Daytona Beach, Florida at the age of 79 and although she is gone her legacy lives on…

    Phillis Wheatley Research Paper

    Phillis Wheatley was an intelligent woman with one major downfall; she was a slave, however, Wheatley did not allow this characteristic to stop her from doing what she wanted to do. As a slave, Wheatley was more than fortunate to have been taught how to read and write. She decided to take these talents and turn it into something even more positive, so she began writing poetry and letters. Although Wheatley's work was exceptional, it was not published. It wasn't until the 1830s that "Wheatley's poetry was rediscovered by the New England abolitionists" (pg. 367). Through her work, Wheatley is described as a "bold and canny spokesperson for her faith and her politics" (pg. 367) and without her doubt, I think that her work should go noticed and credited for its…
