Honors blog #1

All over the world women's rights have been taken and made women feel like trash. Different countries have different rules and regulations about what they can and cannot do, and to this day there are still things that women in lets say Iran can't do because they simply have different body parts.

Women's rights in America started in 1800's, the first convention for women's rights is held in Senaca Falls, New York. Women's rights hurted, destroyed and broke many women across the country; Men were superior regardless of what unless you were a negro. Racism is simliar to women's rights. They both grew up the same way, they both were "solved" in the past but still tend to creep up and hurt in so many ways. We see cases of racism and womens rights being used everyday; 'oh a woman can't be a firefighter because this is a mans job! She needs to stay home and take care of the kids and house like she is supposed to' Or 'that nigger is useless just like all of the other ones that we see around here!'

What is it that we can change to help this racism and women's rights die down forever, what can we do each day to help those broken women and the African Americans who have lost loved ones due to racism?

What can we do?
