    This page gives a very detailed overview of the Civil Rights movement in general, and also a lot of things people have already tried.
  • Devin M on 12 Feb 14
     
    This info is old and outdated. MLK's march for the sanitation workers was in the mid-late 60's.

    I do not understand why you did a website that was not updated.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    This isn't really up to date. Please try to find modern stuff. :)

    The question I had to answer was, "What have people already tried?" Therefore, it doesn't really matter how recent it is, as long as it's relevant and reliable.

  • Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest were leading figures in splitting up the U.S. during 1861-65 in that failed war to maintain the economic system of slavery. Davis was president of the Confederate States of America, 11 states that seceded from the Union

    This article consists of the KKK marches in our general area. KKK tried to save Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jefferson Davis legacy by not allowing Memphis to rename the racist parks.

    This article is great because this shows the other side of the fight. Some African Americans have made some bad choices, but so have many whites as we have seen with the KKK, church bombing, and many others that exemplify the cruelty that both sides have done to push for there cause.

    If the park is named after a racist, that does not mean that the park is racist.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that the only way people who are racist like the KKK are getting their power is because of the reaction they get. I mean does someone complain when none of the people they are talking to care what they say.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Jack. I think racist groups like the KKK get their power is because so many people talk about them and do news articles on them.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    Most articles only talk about African Americans and stuff they did, but this article is one of those rare ones that talks about bad stuff white people do. I agree with Robert.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    I like this because it is a little different like Jerry said, but I see that you highlighted this and I don't think it said everything you really wanted to say.
  • Samuel K on 20 Feb 14
     
    I also agree with Robert. I think that all of these people put a lot of lives in the way for a problem that could have easily been solved. It also shows how the blacks had to struggle for their rights and freedom. This article also looks at not just the black side of this problem (because that is the side that we always look at) but how that African Americans also made some bad choices and how some of them effected the problem as well.
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    This event shows how Memphis has a bad racist history and that it wasn't a good idea to name the parks the name of racists in the first place.
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is very questionable. I would like to see the originator of this park. Perhaps a KKK leader created it? This is a big problem and I'm glad they're fixing it.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a great article to help us get more information about our city's black history. This is a great article for our group to collaborate on and discuss.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    How does this develop our learning? It's really just about a park named after someone. I like how this is up-to-date and uses facts and history.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This does not give us any further information about racial discrimination. It has nothing to do with helping it either.
  • Sam B on 24 Feb 14
     
    This points to how the KKK is getting weaker despite the ongoing of the clan and how some of them are even in Memphis.

    The "N word has been used all around Memphis. I have had some experience. I have been down to a soup kitchen in downtown Memphis and I heard a white worker say the "N word." I feel like it is a real problem that spreads around Tennessee and the Nation.
  • Blake S on 10 Feb 14
     
    I feel like this was part of an opinion but it was a good source.

    You need a link besides sweet search. I think you got your link wrong.

    A 63 year old black custodian. Was accused of stealing the white teachers phone, and was accused by the white teacher. Soon they found out that the white teacher actually had never lost the phone out of her possession.

    I think that you should add you latter of feedback to your summary.
  • Jim K on 19 Feb 14
     
    When was this?
  • Sam B on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is a very though case. Until we see some more facts, it cannot be clearly determined if this was an act of racial discrimination.
  • Robert D on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is am one growing problem with discrimination of blacks. This is key because people still blame African Americans, weather this was true or the teacher did it. There is an unfair trails with blacks.
  • Jack F on 20 Feb 14
     
    Yes, I mean he could have been lying but there is definitely a lot of racial discrimination that the lady had only blamed the 63 year old black custodian worker.
  • Jimmy T. on 20 Feb 14
     
    I think that this case definitely has some racial discrimination involved. However, I don't think if you looked at the security tapes you could pin the custodian. He has to go into every room to clean it.
  • Jerry P on 20 Feb 14
     
    This is definitely racial discrimination. A white teacher claims to "lose" her phone so she blames a black worker. Also, the only people questioned were black. There is definitely racial discrimination at that school.
  • Henry B on 20 Feb 14
     
    I like how you knew what the real problem was and you were very clear about it too. Was that the comment or the description though?
  • William S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This is a good example of racial sterotypes. I thought this problem was only with police, but I guess it has spead to every one. Are there any other records of this like this happening?
  • SeanMarc T on 21 Feb 14
     
    This can show how people are quick to judge someone just by their color. This also can lead us to employees being wrongly accused of something they didn't do just because of their skin color.
  • Ben S on 21 Feb 14
     
    This article talkes about the racial discrimination in our community. Although, it didn't have enough information/evidence. Because of this we need further evidence but I think this will help us in our process of racial discrimination in our community.
  • Seth R on 21 Feb 14
     
    I agree with Sam. There really isn't enough facts or proof to really call it racial discrimination. I'm sure the teacher though that he stole it because he has access to any room when he wants to go in.
  • Hewes S on 21 Feb 14
     
    Is this really going to take us into further detail about our project and if how can we pursue?
