Callywood''s Day 15 of Black History with Jack Johnson
Posted by Cosandra Calloway on Tuesday, February 22, 2011,
Johnson's boxing style was
very distinctive. He developed a more patient approach than was
customary in that day: playing defensively, waiting for a mistake, and
then capitalizing on it. Johnson always began a bout cautiously, slowly
building up over the rounds into a more aggressive fighter. He often
fought to punish his opponents rather than knock them out, endlessly
avoiding their blows and striking with swift counters. He always gave
the impression of having much more to offer ... Continue reading ...
Callywood's Day 14 of Black History with the Jim Crow Law
Posted by Cosandra Calloway on Tuesday, February 22, 2011,
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted
between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all
public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality,
this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to
those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic,
educational and social disadvantages.

Callywood's Day 12 of Black History with Slavery In America Part 2
Posted by Cosandra Calloway on Tuesday, February 22, 2011,
Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has
existed in many cultures. Slavery is rare among hunter–gatherer
populations, as slavery is a system of social stratification. Mass
slavery also requires economic surpluses and
a high population density to be viable. Due to these factors, the
practice of slavery would have only proliferated after the invention of
agriculture during the Neolithic revolution about 11,000 years ago. The
earliest records of slavery can be traced to the... Continue reading ...

vocals forever." She co-wrote only a few songs, but several of t... Continue reading ...
