The story hasn 't changed of late, Jeff Locke continued the strong streak of Pirates ' pitching in a 3-2 win over the White Sox yesterday; Gerrit Cole will look to do the same tonight against Jeff Samardzija and the White Sox. Last night, the Pirate bats exploded in the first inning by putting up three runs in a hurry, but that 's all they could muster throughout the night. If Locke and the Pirates ' bullpen wouldn 't have been so good, the Pirates -- more than likely -- would 've added a tally to the loss column.
It was first raised at the Capitol and is a sign of Colonial Unity. This means being united or joined together. The symbols on this flag are the Union Jack located in the left corner which is Great Britain’s flag. The rest of the flag consists of six white stripes and seven red stripes
Miranda Wood B6 A recent mass shooting at a Charleston Church, where nine black worshippers were killed by a white man, has sparked even more debate about an old and controversial symbol: the Confederate battle flag. In his National Review Article, David French argues that the Confederate flag, though it should not be used as a symbol of white supremacy, should be remain in public for historical purposes. He claims that the reason the flag still hangs over Confederate cemeteries is to honor those who fought for the Confederacy, not to discriminate against African Americans.
The proper way to display a US Flag would be to hang it and not touching the floor. The artist Dread Scott is being disrespectful to the US Flag by having it on the ground. Then Dread Scott had requested people to write into the book. In order to write in the book you had to step on the flag. Then on top of that Dread Scott had a photograph of the draped coffin and South Koreans burning the US Flag.
The flag has the words “I ain’t coming down” written on it. The next day the students who were responsible for the raising of the flag were suspended. In the next few days Rebecca Doolen, who is a student at hudson, wore a t-shirt with the confederate flag displayed on it. She was sent home, along with being suspended. “It’s heritage, not hate”- Rebecca Doolen.
The era of piracy, highly exaggerated in modern and popular culture, was seemingly ended by modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This can be seen through the development of modern governmental and naval technology, changes in the global economy, and the implementation of new laws, restrictions, and regulations. Throughout history texts provide evidence of the impact of modernization on piracy, highlighting the increasing difficulty for pirates to operate and find profitable targets to continue their life of pirating and poverty. Although there are interesting pirate stories from gruesome attacks and how they operate, from Captain Kidd to Blackbeard, these infamous figures of piracy have been the subject of countless books,
The Pirate hunters written by Robert Kurson provides a more factual, representation of pirates, in particular, a pirate named Joseph Bannister. Bannister and his famed ship the Golden Fleece and the search for the ship is what the Pirate Hunter details (Kurson). It focuses on Bannister’s job as a sea captain, transporting goods from London to Jamaica until he stole the ship that he was working on and became a pirate, possibly the greatest pirate of all time (Kurson). Bannister’s story took place around the Caribbean, where many other pirate stories take place. According to Shultz, a lot of pirates were in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy, seen in films like the Pirates of the Caribbean which took place in Tortuga and was actually
The Confederate flag has been one the most controversial and divisive symbol in American history. Recently, in the wake of the Charleston church shooting, the country has been in an uproar of the confederate flag. The shooting sparked discussion on whether the flag is hateful or represents the south’s history and wanted the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house. Many people believe that the confederate flag represents southern pride and southern history but in the mind of many others the flag represents slavery and the years and years of the oppression of African-Americans and other minorities. One of the reasons the confederate represents represents hate is that many hate-groups use it.
The confederate flag was a sign of the confederate states and the fallen tributes in the war. The flag never ceased being the flag of the Confederate soldier and still today commands wide respect as a memorial to the Confederate soldier. African-American newspapers decried the flag’s popularity
All soldiers are true heroes; they die for a cause that they are trying to protect. The southern side felt over-powered by the fact that the northern side was going to industrialize themselves into a bigger economy that everyone would soon have to face including the south. This flag is no being taken down and pushed aside for the wrongfulness that was made from the church shooter; everyone knows a flag cannot make you do anything without your own intentions to do so. People now believe that his true intentions were based of the confederate flag and now they are wanting to destroy the legacy of the flag and keep it locked up in a dungeon, they want all knowing of this flag to be destroyed so they prohibit us to sell our flag, and they keep the unknowing things from the people in order to depict the hatred that the confederate flag
The issue of the confederate flag has been an important cultural discussion point for some years now, but has recently taken on even greater importance in light of recent hate crimes in South Carolina, as well as rampant police brutality and shootings across the country. Much of the discussion has been an argument between the two schools of thought being that either the flag is a symbol of cultural heritage and nothing more, and the other being that it is a symbol of systematic and violent racism that has no right being in a place of honor and reverence in today’s society. In a way both schools are correct. The Confederate flag is a symbol of southern cultural history; it also happens that that history is a history of systematic and violent racism, starting from the flag’s creation and on to its popular resurgence in the south at the time of desegregation and the civil-rights movement.
Pictures of the accused killer flooded television, social networks and newspapers. The displaying of the killer holding the confederate flag was displayed because of the killer’s hate for the black race. Nine people were killed in the shooting spree. The incident in my opinion was a demonic act because the killer sat and open fire while the congregation prayed. Sadly, only because of nine people dying because of racism, the flag was removed for several southern states.
Jack the Ripper was a notorious killer, although he was killing carelessly, he was never caught. Also, he is credited with being one of the sickest killers of all time due to the way he completes his rituals Jack the Ripper killed five women between August 31, 1888 and November 19, 1888. They were murdered in Whitechapel and Spitalfields in the East End areas of London, England. Jack the Ripper was never caught, which leaves us thinking what kind of motives did he have for committing these awful crimes. No other killer in the British history was as gruesome and as bad as Jack the Ripper; a murderer whose arrogance and boldness would’ve got him caught, but instead defied the entire police department of London and had the city in terror for as
On Thursday June 22nd 2017, I had the opportunity to walk through Crown Heights Brooklyn with a group of three New York City Teaching Fellows. The purpose of our visit was to study the communinty and gather background information and identify community resources. As a group we visited two schools in the community, Clara Barton High School and Elijah Stroud Middle School, which are all less thean a half a mile of each other. In preperation for our walk we read the article Race, Class and Imagining The Urban by Zeus Leonardo and Margeret Hunter. In the article the authors did a study on the urban in which it it describes it as a constant process of modernization, and how it may be an outlet for some, but for others who live in the urban setting, is viewed as innescapable poverty for others.
This is also connected because it reminds me where my family is from. My culture is based around this flag because it makes me who I am. It’s important to me because it came from my great grandparents who passed it down so we know where our
