 * Me: **[|Get Down (You're the One for Me)]

**Musician**: Back Street Boys
**Genre**: Pop Focused

=
For my year, I chose the Back Street Boys. They are a pop-focused international boy band that was discover around the year 1995. They released this song in 1996, the year I was born. I like this song because it's very up beat. This reminds me of when I was little in my uncle's home videos and I was danced to their whole album and then ran out of breath and sat down. This song is like a nice up beat party type song. Back Street Boys are known for that and I want to expand reader's choice of music for the "oldies" music and what the songs were like back then. =====

**Title**: [|Black, Successful and Safe And Gone From Capital] **Date**: July 27th, 1996 **Author**: Steven A. Holmes and Karen De Witt **Summary**: Richard White moved to Fort, Washington to get away from the drug and child abuse his old neighborhood had to offer in 1979. His neighborhood was once known as "The Chocolate City" because there were African American people every where, working, walking, and living their lives there. He is now retired and does volunteer work around his neighborhood and ofter wants to go back to his original rootsand live there, his opinion on his south east Washington neighborhood is that is in need of more middle class black people to reclaim the once safe city. But his wife, on the other hand, doesn't agree. An exodus occurred in the 1980's, Columbia's District of Columbia's huge black middle class left the city and moved to the suburbs out of a disillusionment and transplanted ambition, and has been declining rapidly when just 20 years before the black's won their long awaited and dream of a limited self-government. In the 1980's, 11% of the the District of Columbia's black population moved out of the city equaling to 50,000 blacks moving out. During this huge exodus was the increase in white's in the city which rose 8,000 people in the last 20 years. This is an example of a city in America that exhibits race changing while the city's economy is becoming poorer. The middle class are either still their or some have been lured back to their once nice neighbor hood but the population only stands at 554,00, about 65% black, and 32% white. When Sandy Davis moved to the border line of that neighborhood, she wanted no interest in it. Now, as the government, in 1996, tries to quickly fix up the broken city, it's going to take a lot more effort then expect. The city is slowly sliding into bankruptcy under the care of the congress. Education rates are slowly tipping too, with only 46 percent of the Prince George's African American Seniors said they wanted to go to college but thats higher then the white percentage of 41.6 percent. This article talks about how the city is slowly slipping away from the hold of the people and the congress, itself. Also, it shows how easily a city can be forgotten in different points of views. This article mainly focuses on how harsh economic times can affect the outcome of how the government treats the environment with out money and an environment with money.

**Article**: [|Soweto Uprising] **TItle**: 16 June 16, 1976 Student Uprising in Soweto **Author**: Alistair Boddy-Evans **Date**: June 16, 1976 **Summary**: On June 16, 1976, high school students in Soweto started protesting for better education in schools.They did this because of black students in Soweto being against the "Afrikaans Medium Decree" of 1974 which forced all black schools to learn and speak Afrikaan and English language. The police reacted violently to the uprising of the students and used tear gas and real live bullets on the protesters. The uprising in Sweto is now a South African holiday, known as "Youth Day". Twenty three people were killed on the first day. The riots and protests continued until the end of the year and resulted in the deaths of five hundred and fifty six people, mostly Africans. After the riots and protests ended, there was a memorial held at the Hector Pieterson Museum. Many people died during the protest and riots, but the point was proved that students didn't appericate the education and they stood up for them selves, being leaders. The riots were caused because the education was not being focused on so students went to protest to the government about their education rights.

**Article** for 1966: **Artist**: Brooke Clark **Date**: April 1, 1966 **Summary**: The boycott of April 1st, 1966 was caused by racial segregation in the student's high school. It all started on a Thursday, March 31st, 1966 when thousands of Seattle Public school Students boycotted their schools in the Central District of the African American Community. The African American students felt that they were being discriminated and weren't given a better education because of their skin color. It took years for the protestors, boycotters, and leaders of the African American students to finally grab the attention of the inequities. They offered a number of proposals like the "Triad" program. This program would make sure that blacks and whites could go to school together and to also close some schools that weren't needed anymore. The school board paid no attention to this and so the boycotters, boycotted until they proved their point. The NAACP, the Central Area Committee for Civil Rights,and CORE got involved and boycotted along sides of the students waning to better their education. Approximately 3,000 students, including about 1,000 white and Asian American students, boycotted their regular classes to attend eight Freedom Schools that had been set up in churches and community buildings throughout the Central District. Many volunteered and three of the teachers from the Central District insurted some students at the boycott. After all of this, the Central District created programs on the "Triad" form and the boycotts ended. This shows that education can be change by student protesting and a little help, the government can change their mind on things at keep peace.
