The "New Identity" of the Immigrants in the United States: a Study of Two Poems

The United States of America has long been the land of hopes and dreams. People poured into the country for a better life. The ('native') people of the country have campaigned that everybody is welcome to live and become the citizens there; they also claim that they respect and appreciate human right and do not discriminate people. The two poems analyzed here describe the efforts and struggles of immigrants who came to the United States and tried to become her citizens, a thing that 'in reality' is very difficult and full of obstacles. Those newcomers were hampered by many things, both from the things outside and inside them. Immigrants who now live in USA write the two poems and they are interesting to be analyzed, as they picture experiences and struggles of migrants living in a new countr

Judge Paul J. McCormick: The Prelude to Desegregation in the United States

Born into a Catholic family on April 23, 1879, in New York City, Paul J. McCormick became one of Los Angeles, California’s most important federal judges. On March 21, 1946, Judge McCormick’s judgment in favor of the Mendez v. Westminster case declared California schools must desegregate. Until that time, school segregation had relied on the 1896 court case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which justified it under racial segregation. McCormick’s singular decision marked a watershed in the fight for civil rights in the United States. While Judge McCormick promoted justice, equality, and civil rights, his court decision desegregating schools on behalf of Mexican students would mark the beginning to the end of segregation throughout the United States

United States v. Katz

Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), is a United States Supreme Court case discussing the nature of the right to privacy and the legal definition of a search. The Court’s ruling adjusted previous interpretations of the unreasonable search and seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment to count immaterial intrusion with technology as a search, overruling Olmstead v. United States and Goldman v. United States. Katz also extended Fourth Amendment protection to all areas where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy

Whatever Means Necessary: Uncovering the Case of Sweatt v. Painter and Its Legal Importance

The road to end segregation in the United States has been a long uphill battle for African Americans. The purpose of this paper serves several critical purposes. The first function is to educate the reader about the legal struggles that African Americans endured between the era of Reconstruction and the Supreme Court desegregating graduate school case of Sweatt v. Painter in 1950. Not only was this elusive case an important stepping stone in reversing the “Separate but Equal Doctrine” upheld by the Supreme Court in 1886, this case shows the lengths that segregationists went to in maintaining the status quo of racial separation. Finally, this paper will demonstrate the legal relevance that Sweatt v. Painter had to a current Supreme Court Affirmative Action case of Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003
