Montgomery Bus Boycott: A Victory for Civil Rights – Speakeasy News Sixty years ago, on 20 December, 1956, Martin Luther King and his fellow campaigners won a first victory in the long battle for African-American civil rights. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which had begun when Rosa Parks famously refused to move to the back of the bus, finally ended after 381 days, when the Supreme Court ruled bus segregation illegal. But Rosa Parks wasn’t the first African American woman to refuse to give up her seat in a Montgomery bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on 1 December, 1955. In the previous year, four other women had refused to move seats. Colvin was arrested. But Colvin wasn’t forgotten. Boycott When Rosa Parks, a middle-aged, eminently respectable NAACP activist refused to move to the back of the bus, this time the community felt it had found its spokesperson. In parallel, the NAACP decided it was time to challenge bus segregation in court. Webpicks Useful websites and online tools for classroom use > African American History on the Web

US enters new phase as women change the face of Congress Among the historic class of new congresspeople who took the oath of office in the US House of Representatives on Thursday are the first Native American women, the first Muslim women, the first black women elected from Massachusetts and Connecticut, the first Hispanic women elected from Texas, and the youngest woman to be elected to Congress. There is a former NFL linebacker, a doctor and a climate scientist. There are a number of former members of the military and intelligence services, many of them women. There are seasoned veterans of past presidential administrations and a handful of political neophytes who never held office before running for Congress in 2018. A record 102 women were sworn into the House on Thursday, 35 of whom were elected for the first time in November in a historic wave of success for female candidates. “We’re in the building. Democrats regained control of the House on Thursday eight years after losing power. TODAY (@TODAYshow)“I think of it is a responsibility.

La leçon de The Roots sur l’esclavage Aux Etats-Unis, le 19 juin est le jour de l’Emancipation. Un jour férié pour célébrer l’annonce de l’abolition de l'esclavage survenue au Texas en juin 1865, deux mois après la fin de la guerre de Sécession. C’est cet événement historique méconnu en Europe qu’ont choisi de célébrer les créateurs de l’excellente série Black-ish dans leur nouvelle saison, en invitant The Roots par le biais d’un clip animé en forme de cartoon pédagogique. Durant près de deux minutes, Black Thought et Questlove se retrouvent ainsi plongés dans le sud Confédéré, au milieu des plantations de coton et des marchés aux esclaves. Sous le joug des propriétaires sudistes texans, ils chantent leur blues dans ce « I’m a Slave » et expliquent à un jeune garçon les détails de cette période sombre en pastichant l’ancienne et très populaire série éducative américaine Schoolhouse Rock!

Apprentissage réussi des langues avec le « labo » tout numérique et la « balado » Avec l’enseignement de l’anglais obligatoire depuis 2005 dès le cycle 2, les enfants du premier degré sont censés acquérir les bases pour être au même niveau que leurs voisins et «rentrer dans le moule» du Cadre Européen commun de référence pour les langues. Dans les faits, des témoignages de parents d’élèves affirment que les heures attribuées à l’anglais à l’école primaire sont épisodiques : la machine n’est donc pas en marche partout de manière homogène. Et alors que Luc Châtel déclarait en janvier, vouloir «réinventer l’apprentissage de l’anglais», en suggérant un enseignement dès l’âge de trois ans, il va bien falloir trouver des moyens d’apprentissage novateurs pour faire apprendre les langues à nos bambins… Les Nouvelles Technologies peuvent-elles répondre à ce défi ? Quels sont les atouts du Laboratoire de langues tout numérique et de la baladodiffusion pour cet apprentissage « obligatoire« . Gain de temps et plus de pratique pour le laboratoire tout numérique

Martin Luther King III reflects on father's legacy amid George Floyd protests Amid nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd, Martin Luther King III, son of the famed civil rights activist, is speaking out about what his father would make of today's racial tensions. Joining Sunday TODAY's Willie Geist, King explained that he believes his father living past 1968, when he was shot and killed at a sanitation workers' strike, would've drastically changed the criminal justice system. "My father, I believe, and none of us can speak for him, but certainly through his words, he always had compassion, and so compassion would certainly be in order," he began. "But ... I just believe that had my father lived, we wouldn't be even dealing with these issues. King continued: "We would have a criminal system that is just ...

"We're seeing and feeling the frustration, the humiliation, the insensitivity," King explained.

Clinton, Trump Are a Study in Contrasts American businessman Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are likely to face each other in the U.S. presidential election this year. Both candidates call New York State their home. But that might be the only thing they have in common. Donald Trump came from a wealthy family. He is known for building hotels and casinos around the world. The businessman says that the U.S. political system is broken and it will take a non-politician like himself to fix it. Trump is the likely presidential candidate of the Republican Party. On Thursday, Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, said he is “not ready” to support Trump as the nominee. Hillary Clinton grew up in a middle class family near Chicago. Her last remaining opponent for the Democratic Party nomination, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, continues his campaign against her. On National Security The experiences of Clinton and Trump have shaped their ideas about America’s place in the world. On Diplomacy

Site Langues d'éduscolEn ce qui concerne les nombreux podcasts conçus pour apprendre la langue, cette authenticité est très variable et toute relative.

George Floyd's death highlights US struggle with racial tensions It’s happened again. Another black man has died at the hands of a white police officer, and Americans are again in mourning. The official account from Minneapolis police was short and lacked detail. An allegation of forgery. The suspect — a man who appeared to be “under the influence”, “who physically resisted officers”, and who appeared to be “suffering medical distress”. Mass protest as Minneapolis rocked by fatal police arrest But the video that emerged hours later told a drastically different story. For nine excruciating minutes, the officer continued to hold his handcuffed victim firmly against the concrete as bystanders called on him to stop. Repeated pleas for air by the alleged suspect — “I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe” — also went ignored. The face of this latest act of police brutality is 46-year-old George Floyd. The video, captured by a passer-by, went viral on social media. It gives the public a chance to play judge and jury in cases that could get swept under the carpet.
