/ A Legacy 1960-1990 : A 6 page paper on how
the 1960s led to the separatism of the 1990s. The writer
proves, through historical, socioeconomic and political
perspectives that the revolutionaries of the 1960s are still
stranded on the edge of the abyss and scrambling for ways to
keep their children from falling in. One or more leaders today
havent the charisma or opportunity, due to media castration,
to lead them. Leadership is coming in the form of separatism
into various cultures. Just as they were then, the boomers are
stuck looking for identity in separatism, and also as they were
then, they are the leaders of that revolution. Bibliography

Desegregation of Major League Baseball In The United
States : A 10 page paper on the integration of Black athletes
into major league baseball. The writer describes the evolution
of the Negro Leagues and the reasons why it would have
been beneficial for these leagues to remain in effect as they
contributed to social bonding. It is argued that integration
damaged some of the pride and cultural experience that Black
athletes enjoyed in the Negro Leagues. Desegregation
brought about major opposition, ridicule, shame, etc; Irony
exists in the fact that Blacks were allowed to fight and die for
America-- but they could not play baseball. And once they
were allowed to, nobody would accept them. Bibliography

The Genre Of War Films / Avoiding The Issue Of Race :
In this well-reasoned 5 page essay, the writer argues that war
films have traditionally avoided having to portray
African-Americans in a realistic manner. Even films about the
Civil War "hid" Black people to a large extent -- out of fear
that doing otherwise would invoke some controversial
discontent. A number of insightful examples from war films
are provided to support this thesis. Bibliography lists 4
