200 Years as a Cobbler

In 1815 when the company started everything was really slow everything was handmade people were getting hurt like that. It will take them a week to make one pair of shoes. They only make boots and buckled shoes and the style of the shoes are Man, Woman, and Kids. The only color they had is black and brown and the material they had  is just leather.

Now, in 2015 we can make shoes really fast and you can pick any color for your shoe and it quick and easy on the internet. Now you can customize your shoe and design it how ever you want. Now they use machine to make the shoe and it’s perfectly safe. The shoes now are are so comfortable than the shoes along time ago.


I think companies will sell flying shoes that will take you wherever you want to go. It will be made out of the most soft stuff that will make the shoe super comfortable and really fun to use.

Civil Right Movement

The Importance of Civil Right Movement

By: Joshua Chavez

 

The Civil Rights movement started in the 1950’s, Before the Civil rights black people weren’t treated equally and segregation in schools forced colored people out of white people school.

 

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr was a great man but was arrested many times. He was born in Atlanta, GA. He was educated in Booker T.
Washington High School. When he speaks it sounds like he runs the country. Before he became famous he was a pastor at a church. In August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial giving his famous “I have a Dream” speech at the end of the movement. About 200,000 people went to see Martin Luther King Jr give his speech. He influenced African Americans all over the USA to join him in peaceful marches and protests.

 

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a brave woman that became an icon for the Civil Rights movement. She was born in Tuskegee, AL. She was coming back home from work. She was getting on the bus and found a seat then a few minutes later, a white passenger came. She wouldn’t give up her bus seat to the white passenger. So she was arrested because she didn’t give up her seat, it was the law back then. Then when she was released from prison she was the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Little Rock Nine

The little rock nine are nine brave black students that wanted to go to the high school near their homes.  On September 24, 1957 the nine students go to Central High School which is only for white people only and the Little Rock Nine are black. At first they weren’t allowed to go to that school because the Governor of Arkansas and white people near the school.  Segregation had ended so they were allowed to go any school they wanted. They ended getting into school because they were guarded by US soldiers sent by President Eisenhower.  The Little Rock 9 were picked on by white students.  One was even burned by her classmates, but they never gave up and kept coming back to school.

 

As a result of the Civil Right movement Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock Nine all changed the rules of the USA. They all showed the country that there was no reason to treat other people differently because they are human beings and should be treated equally.
