  Barbara Jordan is related to Texas because she grew up in Houston, and graduated from Texas Southern University in 1956. After this, Jordan continued her studies at Boston University Law School where she was one of the few black students in the program. Jordan returned to Texas after earning her degree and set up her law practice, first working out of her parents' home in Texas, then she became active in politics by campaigning for the Democratic presidential ticket of John F. Kennedy and her fellow Texan Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1962, Jordan launched her first bid for public office, hoping for a spot in the Texas legislature which she won in 1966, allowing her to become the first black woman to do so.
 Jordan is important for many reasons, and did many things throughout her lifetime. Barbara ran for Texas legislature starting in 1962, and finally in 1966, she finally won a seat in the Texas legislature, which made her the first African American woman to do so.  A goal of hers was to improve the lives of her constituents by helping through the state's first law on minimum wage, and she also worked to create the Texas Fair Employment Practices Commission. Later in 1972, her fellow lawmakers voted her in as president pro tempore of the state senate which she once again became the first African American woman to hold this honor.]]> 2019-03-29 19:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346685852 ashley_p11 https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346690359 Because Jordan was an African American female, she faced many critics and discrimination throughout her schooling and career. Despite this, Jordan remained determined to her goals and was persistent. Another obstacle she faced was getting a seat in public office which she overcame by running multiple times until she succeeded. In 1992, Jordan  took the national stage to deliver a speech like old times at the Democratic National Convention. At this time, her health had declined, and she had to give her address from her wheelchair which made it a struggle, but she kept going despite it.]]> 2019-03-29 19:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346690359 ashley_p11 https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346692167 Born : October 16, 1815

 Despite being born in South Carolina, Lubbock was connected to Texas in many ways. First of all, he was the governor of Texas at one point in time, and was an active Democrat. Lubbock was also appointed comptroller of the Republic of Texas by President Sam Houston and held that. Another contribution of Francis Lubbock was that he was elected clerk of the Harris County district court and served from 1841 to 1857.
  Lubbock accomplished many things during his lifetime, and holds great importance. First, as governor, he was apart of the exempting of the frontier counties from the Confederate draft and enlisted their residents for local defense against Indian attack. Also, as governor he loyally supported the Confederacy and worked to improve the military capabilities of Texas to make them stronger. The last important thing that Lubbock did that I will be including is that he joined the Confederate Army, and eventually was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel, serving under Major General John B. Magruder.]]> 2019-03-29 19:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346692167 ashley_p11 https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346805975  Francis Lubbock was sure to have faced many obstacles during his lifetime and career. The first obstacle is that in 1861, he only won his governorship by 124 votes, meaning he had many critics. Another struggle of Lubbock is that he had a lack of education, meaning he was behind others running and competing against him that were educated. The last struggle I could come up with is that at the age of 14, his father died. Due to his death, the family was left struggling, so he had to quit school instead of learning to work as a clerk to support his family.]]> 2019-03-30 18:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346805975 ashley_p11 https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346808773 From this video I learned that,
1. First, after Lincoln won the election, South Carolina succeeded, then 6 other southern states such as Texas and Louisiana all followed in 1861 forming a Confederacy under Jefferson Davis.
2. Due to previous issues and Lincoln refusing to remove Union troops from the Confederacy, in 1861 South Carolina militiamen attacked Fort Sumter which was used as a force to start sending Union troops to take back the South, which resulted in the start of the war.
3. General Lee's defeat occurred at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 in which President Lincoln used as a platform to present the famous Gettysburg Address.]]> 2019-03-30 18:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346808773 ashley_p11 https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346809768 This video taught me that,
1. Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation being signed by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.
2. This proclamation required states that had succeed from the Union to no longer hold their slaves.
3. There werent many Union soldiers to enforce this new law, so on June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers led by Major General Godon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas where the last of the slaves found out that they had been freed.]]> 2019-03-30 19:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_p11/j387gxtey0bg/wish/346809768
