Surviving a Rural High School Shooting
Author: Dr. Irene Barry
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1642983586
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 17
Book Description
On December 7, 2017, life changed at Aztec High School, Aztec, New Mexico. Life was normal at 8:00 a.m. with students and staff arriving, but little did we know that in fifteen minutes, our lives would be changed forever. As a school, we were very lucky! This is one teacher's perspective on what happened that day. No matter where you are in the school, this affects you. Social media plays into this because all kinds of reports are going over media immediately with untruths about the situation, making it even worse for our children in the classrooms. There is an increase in school shooting. In 2018, as of January 25, there has been eleven school shootings, including high school shootings in Marshall High School in Kentucky, resulting in two dead and sixteen injured, and also in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Texas. This is unacceptable! The number one rule in education is that public schools are supposed to be safe for all employees and students. This is not the case, and the issue now is epidemic, with very innocent children losing their lives. It is devastating to watch an event like this unfold and change students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff's lives all across the United States. There is nothing worse than worrying about the students who you become acquainted with and love, worrying about whether they are going to make it through an event like this. As Americans, we need to object to our public schools not being safe and need to put in strategies and protocol for all schools to know how to handle a situation such as this and stop this from happening to our children. With the addition of active shooting training as well as increased security and NRA measures, our schools may become safer. At least it is a start.

We Will Shoot Back
Author: Akinyele Omowale Umoja
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814725244
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
"Ranging from Reconstruction to the Black Power period, this thoroughly and creatively researched book effectively challenges long-held beliefs about the Black Freedom Struggle. It should make it abundantly clear that the violence/nonviolence dichotomy is too simple to capture the thinking of Black Southerners about the forms of effective resistance."—Charles M. Payne, University of Chicago The notion that the civil rights movement in the southern United States was a nonviolent movement remains a dominant theme of civil rights memory and representation in popular culture. Yet in dozens of southern communities, Black people picked up arms to defend their leaders, communities, and lives. In particular, Black people relied on armed self-defense in communities where federal government officials failed to safeguard activists and supporters from the violence of racists and segregationists, who were often supported by local law enforcement. In We Will Shoot Back: Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement, Akinyele Omowale Umoja argues that armed resistance was critical to the efficacy of the southern freedom struggle and the dismantling of segregation and Black disenfranchisement. Intimidation and fear were central to the system of oppression in Mississippi and most of the Deep South. To overcome the system of segregation, Black people had to overcome fear to present a significant challenge to White domination. Armed self-defense was a major tool of survival in allowing some Black southern communities to maintain their integrity and existence in the face of White supremacist terror. By 1965, armed resistance, particularly self-defense, was a significant factor in the challenge of the descendants of enslaved Africans to overturning fear and intimidation and developing different political and social relationships between Black and White Mississippians. This riveting historical narrative relies upon oral history, archival material, and scholarly literature to reconstruct the use of armed resistance by Black activists and supporters in Mississippi to challenge racist terrorism, segregation, and fight for human rights and political empowerment from the early 1950s through the late 1970s. Akinyele Omowale Umoja is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of African-American Studies at Georgia State University, where he teaches courses on the history of the Civil Rights, Black Power, and other social movements.
