What were some of the social barriers the historical figures faced and how did they overcome them?

This prayer of forgiveness was made by a 6-year-old African American girl for the benefit of many white adults who tried to block her admission into a newly desegregated school in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1960. Ruby Bridges was one of four first-grade African American children (the other three girls were Tessie Prevost, Leona Tate, and Gail Etienne) who were selected by the school board to initiate the process of desegregation in New Orleans. Two schools were chosen.

Three of the girls were assigned to one school, and Ruby was assigned to the other. All the young children were subjected to daily racial epithets and physical threats, but they continued to attend their new schools, escorted by U.S. Marshals. Each child displayed a disposition of character that can be characterized as civic efficacy, or the belief that one's actions could provide democratic service to the community I have referred preservice teaching candidates in my social studies methods courses to Ruby's prayer as a model of civic virtue.

I used it specifically to teach the theme of democratic character as the cultivation of forgiveness and tolerance (Ciardiello, 2001). But Ruby's prayer has even broader implications. It also expresses a form of critical literacy.In this article, critical literacy is defined as a set of literacy practices and civic competencies that help the learner develop a critical awareness that texts represent particular.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
