Introduction

During the period 1877-1920, the United States underwent a period known as Reconstruction. Well, life for African Americans was not at all easy during this period. In as much as the recently freed African Americans did enjoy political and social equality, the South was regained by the self-proclaimed Democratic redeemers. As a result, Jim Crow racial segregation was instituted which led masses to move, known as the Great Migration. Much did change with regard to the life of African Americans, which begs for the question as to why they faced these challenges during this period of time.

The idea that schools should provide accommodations for those students who experience difficulty and disability is a relatively new one.

With this realization came the development of a number of important programs, all of which have one particular end goal: to develop an educational system in which people can ...

Unfortunately, the athletes only get their expenses covered, but nothing more which seems unfair because other students are allowed to earn money while still having full ...
