The St. Louis was a German transatlantic liner. On May 13, 1939 the St. Louis and it’s captain, Gustav Schröder, departed Hamburg, Germany with 937 passengers that were all searching for a better life in North America. After being turned away by the government of Cuba the refugees hoped to be accepted by the United States, however, president Franklin D. Roosevelt also turned them away. So now the question is, was FDR responsible for the fate of the St. Louis, and how did his reaction reflect on America’s response to the Holocaust as a whole?…
Her success empowered women of all races to feel that they did have intelligence and self-worth. Brave women like Goode who had accomplished achievements against all odds, made women feel more courageous about taking charge of their own lives, careers, and rights.

Her achievement serves as a beacon to all, as it proves that with determination and hard work, it is possible to rise above…

We as Americans reminisce on history to see and understand the advancements we have accomplished and the same can be said of not only the advancement of women but also the image of how women are portrayed. Although in today’s day and age, their figures and beauty are scrutinized but also exploited. For instance in both Tennessee Williams motion picture, “A Street Car Named Desire” and Lorraine Hansberry A Raisin in the Sun you are able to see the evolution of the not only the portal of women but also the advancements they accomplish.…
Katherine Johnson’s mathematical ability and achievement should be implemented into educational curriculum. The fact that her story has been completely hidden for many years from history and the public formulates a multitude of complications that society deals with today. First and foremost, the current narrative is an unfair portrayal of the story that excludes a historically marginalized group of individuals, African American women in STEM. It also muddles the importance of being an engineer or mathematician in a technologically advancing world. Luckily, some progress has been attempted by a few news outlets throughout the last three decades. During the time of the Apollo Missions, the era in which Johnson was actually making the contributions,…
Throughout much of the 1800s and the early 1900s, women had to fight for these rights that white men had had for years. Since that important decision was made on August 26, 1920, women’s organizations have been created to encourage women to be active in their communities. Americans should always honor and respect what women had to do to gain their rights. That is taken for granted on a daily basis. Remember outstanding figures such as Clara Foltz and how hard they fought in order to be considered as equals in…
In the early part of the twentieth century Boston Massachusetts was a growing city full of history and possibilities. A younger Boston had survived the turmoil of British rule and the American Revolution. As a tribute to its past, the former home of Revolutionary hero Paul Revere stood at the north end of the growing city not far from the Old North Church where Revere warned the Patriots of an impending British arrival. But Boston was also growing and changing with the new times, especially in the area of Boston known as the North End.…
These women earned their places in history: from which others can learn, give credit, and honor. Their path was not an easy one. Victoria Woodhull, one of my personal heroes, due to her strong beliefs, became the first woman to run for president, yet was nicknamed “the female satan” because of her “radical” beliefs regarding vegetarianism and shorter skirts. Although 2016 marks the closest a woman has gotten to the presidency, Woodhull’s name is rarely, if ever, mentioned. Sybil Ludington is not taught about alongside Paul Revere, the man who famously rode sixteen miles to warn of the British attack by sea when he was forty. Ludington, the daughter of a colonel, rode her horse forty miles at the age of sixteen, using a long stick to defend herself against highwaymen. It is important to make sure that the memories and knowledge of these women do not disappear. These women are important to me because they sacrificed so much for their cause, and I would like to help the rights of women and other minorities as…
