Royal Wedding and Death of Osama

Hi, this is Tyler M.  from period 1.

I feel that the death if Osama bin Laden is more important to the citzens of america then the royal wedding.  In my oppinion, his death is much more important because of what he did to us during 9/11.  He deserved death and the Americans are happy that we have finally killed him after all of these years.  The royal wedding however should not mean as much to us because we are not even from the UK, and the wedding does not really benefit us.  It is still great that there will be a new prince and princess in New England, but the death of Osama gives us a little peace of mind that such an awful person is finally dead, so we have some justice.  The royal wedding was very publicized, even in America, but it is not as important to us as Americans.  I believe that the death of Osama will be very publicized in these next few days and there will be a lot of talk about it.  This is why i feel the death of Osama bin Laden deserves more attention than the Royal Wedding.

Tuskegee Airmen

Michael N. Period 1
The Tuskegee Airmen project was a very successful achievement for African Americans during WWII. It allowed African Americans to have the chance to prove that they are as efficient as white pilots in combat. During this period in the Tuskegee air base, African Americans were being trained to prove that they were as capable as the white pilots to go into air combat. The Tuskegee Airmen came from all over the United States, trained and fought hard, defined all odds, and were very successful.
Before the Tuskegee Airmen colored people were not allowed to fly airplanes in battle. On April 3, 1939 congress passed the Appropriations Bill Public Law 18. This made it possible for colored people to be trained to be pilots in war. The war department also made it possible for funding to go to the training of the Tuskegee airmen. In 1940 there was only 140 African American pilots in the United States. They had to take many tests to begin their training. They were sometimes forced to take several tests that were unnecessary. They would only choose the black pilots with a certain level of flight experience or higher education. This was intended to exclude most applicants. It was done so that only the best African American pilots would be accepted so it would be a success. The Tuskegee Airmen really started to look like it was going to be a success when the first lady flew with one of the black pilots. The beginning program was ultimately a huge success for the United States.
It was a very hard travel for the Tuskegee airman. That had a long road ahead of them once that got to training. There were many airmen that were involved at the beginning and they gradually got less. They always did the best at flying and never got the chance to see any action in the air. They always had very good attitudes and showed a lot of respect towards there instructors. There were many white instructors and only a couple African. The Tuskegee Airmen had to go through a lot with racist comments. Some of them couldn’t handle all of that presser and the committed suicide. It took till close to the end of the war till the whites finally realized that the Africans were actually good at flying and could help them in many different ways. They only reason the whites thought they needed the Africans help was because the Africans showed up while they were patrolling and saved the captain of the whites. The Africans got there chance to shine and they did which made them just as equal as the whites.
A very positive legacy was created by the Tuskegee airmen during World War II. Over time they began to show white Americans that they really cared about America, and were willing to die for it. At first, many white people had their doubts that African Americans could become competent pilots. Even when the odds were against them, the African American pilots never gave up, and were determined to learn, and better their skills so they could enter combat. In fact, the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing never lost a single bomber while protecting them. The white bomber pilots actually requested the African American pilots to protect them in some cases because they were very consistent. The African Americans started becoming recognized, and awarded medals during the war. In the long run, this really helped show the white Americans that the Tuskegee airmen were good pilots and deserve to be pilots. They started to become recognized and this helped them in being treated as the white Americans, which helped lessen segregation. All in all, the Tuskegee Airmen were a very important step towards ending racism in America, and showing that African Americans should be treated equally.
To sum it up, Tuskegee Airman had a titanic role during WWII. Tuskegee helped the advancement of African Americans to become equal in society. This also helped the army realize that African Americans can fly planes just as well as white people. The Tuskegee Airman was a complete success and will forever be remembered as an important event in American history.

Tyler M Crimes

CRIME

Hello, this is Tyler M from Mr. Sal’s period one 20th century class. During the 1900’s there was a lot of crime in the United States. There are many ways too classify crimes such as violent crimes and property crimes, which were very common during the 20th century. There were a lot of attempts too help reduce crime as well, though there will always be crime in the world.

Violent crimes were crimes that hurt another individual in some way. h it be homicide, rape, or abuse violent crimes have been around much longer than the 20Th century. In some states murder was punishable by death, or you may have too go to jail for the rest of your life. However, during the 1900’s the homicide rate was slowly decreasing. The police forces and sheriffs in each state hired more authority too keep the states protected, which decreased the crime rates. Another way crime was lessened was by improving the court systems over the years. This helped too decrease crime by allowing harsher punishments for worse crimes that were committed.

Other crimes such as theft, loitering, vandalism are considered property crimes. Many people are desperate and feel the need too steal things too satisfy there needs, however, this is not a minor offense in some cases. Vandalism of others houses, cars, or other property is considered punishable by court, or jail time as well. The police have been trying too cut down on property crimes as well as violent crimes for a very long time. Sadly, the the crime rate has slowly increased since the 1960’s even though all of the added police force, and additional court hearings. In a sense, the government and the protection agencies have really tried too reduce the amount of crime throughout the 20th century, but humans will never be perfect, even with the added consequences at stake for them. To sum it up, crime was and still is a very serious issue that will never fully be resolved, but can keep improving.E
