Image
            The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963. The goal of the march was to advocate for the civil and economic rights of African-Americans in the United States. This event has been marked by the famous speech of Dr. Martin Luther King in front of the Lincoln Memorial , a real symbol of freedom: “ I have a dream ”. Indeed, he called for an end of legalized racism and segregation. The march was orchestrated by Bayard Rustin and Asa Philip Randolph , both activists. According to multiple sources and the participants themselves, around 200,000 to 300,000 people were in Washington’s streets. Observers estimated that 75% to 80% of the marchers were Black which constitutes a revolution for the Civil Rights movement . The activists began their massive undertaking in 1961, and planned to advocate for a program of public works, including job training programs for the unemployed. They also urged t...

Malcolm X, a martyr ?

     Malcolm X was an African-American activist during the Civil Rights movement . Indeed, known by the name Al-Hâjj Mâlik al-Shabazz as well, he acted for equality between blacks and whites in the United States. He was born in 1925 and died assassinated in 1965. He was the spokesperson of the Nation of Islam (NOI) — a religious organization which pledges black nationalism and the orthodox values of the Quran — until 1964 when he left the movement. Therefore, he was quite a controversial figure in the Civil Rights movement as he called for revolution by violence against the implanted government. During his early years, Malcolm X has been known by the police for drug dealing, gambling, robbery, and pimping in New York. In 1946, he was imprisoned. In jail-time, Malcolm has encountered members of the NOI, which made him a part of the organization. From his liberation in 1956, he became important in the NOI. Within those years, he was known for his fiery rhetoric against s...

La mafia in Italia

Image
            La mafia è un'organizzazione criminale con una struttura piramidale. Le mafia esiste dall'800 - dunque il XIX° secolo. Le mafia è nata in Sicilia con " Cosa Nostra ". All'inizio, la mafia mostre la malavita nella regione del Sud Italia. Oggigiorno, è dappertutto.     Tuttavia, oltre mafie italiane sono presenti in Italia come la Gomorra (Campania), Sacra Corona Unità (Puglia) e 'Ndrangheta (Calabra). Le mafie italiane si situano a Sud Italia perché questa regione è più povera del Nord. Ma, la mafia si diffonde (si spostano nell'Italia settentrionale, come le mafie straniere -Cinese, Albanese, Russa).     Le attività principali della mafia sono le estorsione (47%), le droghe (23%), lo sfruttamento sessuale e le armi. Nel 2013, le mafia italiane hanno guadagnato più di 10 miliardi di euro. Il film "Gomorra" di Matteo Garrone mostre come la mafia guadagna dei soldi facendo attività illegali. Per esempio, mafiosi sono pa...

2025, is the situation of Persons of Color better ?

     Since January and the election of Donald J. Trump , African-American and immigrants’ rights have been threatened. Indeed, since the official end of segregation in 1964 , Persons of Color are still discriminated against in America, even today. The movement Black Lives Matter proves this: African-American do not feel welcomed in their own country. According to the Washington Post , 22% of the people killed by the police in the United States were Black whereas the community represents 13% of the population. Legally those murders are legal because of the Fourth Amendment that permits police to use deadly force when there is “an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death to themselves or others”.      What’s more, supremacist groups are expanding as the international political field is becoming more extreme every single day. Indeed, according to the New York Times, flash demonstrations are happening every week in some cities where neo-Nazis or fas...

L’Affaire Dreyfus, avant tout une affaire d’Etat

Image
Depuis le 29 juillet 1881, la liberté de la presse est assurée sur le territoire français.  Cette liberté inclut le droit au blasphème et le droit à la caricature. Avant cela, la Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen de 1789 stipulait au sein de son article 11 : “ La libre communication des pensées et des opinions est un des droits les plus précieux de l'Homme : tout Citoyen peut donc parler, écrire, imprimer librement, sauf à répondre de l'abus de cette liberté dans les cas déterminés par la Loi. ”. Néanmoins, cette liberté a été considérée abusive durant plusieurs périodes de l’Histoire. En effet, l’ affaire Dreyfus en est un exemple parlant soulignant les limites de la liberté de la presse mais aussi le contrôle de l’information. S'inscrivant deux décennies après la guerre franco-prussienne, l’affaire Dreyfus demeure une point tournant qui s’est transformée en véritable affaire d’Etat, sous la IIIe République . En effet, en septembre 1894, Le Bordereau es...

Il periodo fascista in Italia e le donne

      Nel passato, le donne erano considerate inferiori. In effetti, durante il periodo fascista , tutte le donne erano inferiori ai loro mariti. Dunque, com'era la famiglia fascista , com'era considerata la donna durante il periodo fascista ? Innanzitutto, ci chiederemo come le donne fasciste dovevano essere madri. Poi, presenteremo come erano considerate le done nella società fascista. Per finire,  spiegheremo com'era la famiglia fascista.       In primo luogo, le donne fasciste dovevano essere mari.

Inoltre, testi fascisti mostravano come la donne doveva essere una madre . In effetti, "la maternità sta alla donna come la guerre sta all'uomo". Questa citazione mostre com'era considerate la donne, solamente come una madre. Poi, le donne non erano ...
