Create, not copy, a list of five interesting facts about her below and include a photo of her as well. Use your own words. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024207 Some of Lee's inspiration for the plot of To Kill a Mockingbird came from events and the personalities of her childhood neighbors.

Ever since 1949, in order for Lee to be able to write in the time she found, would work at the bookstore and later as an airline reservation agent.

In December of 1956, Lee received a year's wages worth of money from her friends with the intent for her to focus on her writings.

"Harper" was chosen for Lee's middle name by her parents to honor pediatrician Dr. William W. Harper because he saved the life of her sister Louise.

Because teacher Gladys Watson became Lee's mentor, she gained a liking toward English literature while enrolled at Monroe County High school.]]> 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024207 The Jim Crow laws that existed from 1877 to about 1950. In at least two sentences, explain, in your own words, what these laws were meant to do. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024208 The Jim Crow laws were made to segregate blacks from whites in the southern states after the reconstruction era. They separated the races from normal, all white stores, fountains, apartments, and such, to different colored facilities, most of worse quality.]]> 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024208 Research the Great Depression which occurred from 1929-1939. Create (not copy) a list of at least three causes. Use your own words. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024210 Three causes of the depression were government and business spending increased in 1930, people spent less money because they lost more in 1929 due to the crash in stock prices the previous year, and due to a severe drought that started to destroy all the crops in the major agricultural states, the Dust Bowl, causing food prices to rise and farmers to lose tons of land and money. The worth of the USD then began to deflate, meaning businesses start to make less money from their products, causing them to raise prices. It all leads to a downward spiral effect that reaches around the globe.]]> 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024210 In at least two sentences, explain, in your own words, the outcome of the court case Plessy vs. Ferguson of 1896. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024211
At the end of the court case Plessy vs. Ferguson, the court decided, because U.S. states have the power to make their own laws that controlled health, safety and morals, that Louisiana's Separate Car Act did not violate the 14th amendment of the federal constitution. The decision was 7-1. It made the segregation laws in the south legitimate.]]> 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024211 Find a photo that represents the lie of "separate but equal," using the three dots below and Google, or the magnifying glass. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024213 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024213 Create (not copy) a list of three of the most ridiculous Jim Crow laws that unfairly separated blacks and whites. owen_schwer https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024215 In Georgia, there was a law that said blacks that have passed away should never be buried in grave yards permitted for whites. I hate this since it hurts me on a religious level, which I don't feel like explaining.
In Virginia, train conductors are required to assign blacks and whites to separate cars respective to their race. If the passenger doesn't disclose their race, then the conductor gets to judge them for himself. I find it unfair for the conductor to be able to choose where a person gets to go depending on if he told the conductor his race.
In North Carolina, segregated schools can't share textbooks between each race; they can only be interchanged between classes and schools of the same race. This is outright useless since the textbooks are completely safe to use for anyone.]]> 2020-01-21 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_schwer/60s3up6isruo/wish/434024215
