All History should be teached
Dear, Dr. Rhineheart
History is a record of descriptions that occured in the past that should be thought ALL of it no matter how graphic it may seem. Yes I get that were youngsters and that those are really bad things to be remembered but to be honest that kind of thing can show us to prove ourself and step it up to avoid such horrible events. The Rape of Nanking is no where to be found in text trying to avoid it for future notice but what you are really doing is taking out the past like if it never happen. Also in Rwanda, about 500,000 people died yet they dont mention it so if you ask me to tell the truth of what occured back than, well Ive had to lie information I never even received in the first place because of you people.

I am a CSI Agent!!!
A CSI Agent has been tracking down Sacco & Vanzetti's case for quite some time. They say that they are just two Italian innocent victims of political and economic interests with no criminal records. The CSI wont stop to put an end to this after hearing that they have stolen money and got away in a blue car. Evidence show that they were at least five men who may be Italians holding a .38 caliber revolver.
After a few days they found the lisence plate around the woods in Braintree.
This is when they had to start the investigation to finding out they legit confirmation of the crime. Soon Coacci who had a job quit after finding out what has happened saying he was sick yet his wife said he was fine. CSI got suspicious so they wanted to capture him to interigate him to get their lead. Police wonder whether he had anything to do with the Braintree murders and found out he was headed to Italy. He remted a house and CSI checked out his place and found out about Mike Boda who might just lead to their source. Later Simon tried to delay Boda who was worried of the situation and found out bout Sacco and Vanzetti were suspects that they were in that situation in Braintree. When CSI arrested them, they found out they were carring weapons with them. They were taken to trial and demanded of legitamate evidence to testify that they did what they were accused of. After many statements made the jury decides them Guilty as Sacco screached they were innocent. Something accured in America that a bomb had been initiated causing to hold back the electric chair for Sacco and Vanzetti. As year gone by Sacco had attempted of commiting suicide to end his suffering while Vanzetti continued to serve time at Charlestown prison, making license plates. After six years of separation, Sacco and Vanzetti had been brought together again in Charlestown State Prison after Judge Thayer scheduled their executions in April. Later on some say that Vanzetti was actually the one who was innocent but not Sacco even though its an assumption they were not as accurate as the CSI is now and days.

Ralph Nader "Unsafe At Any Speed" - Where he talks about cars and the safety precautions involved. Langston Hughes "Ways of White Folks" - He points out the mistakes of people.
The Great Migration= African Americans migrate from the south and more and more places up north are being occupied by African Americans. In some places, they even have their own little community where they own shops, businesses, and services. Harlem Renaissance occurred; But as African populations were growing, new forms of KKK groups were emerging.
Red Scare= Bolshevik Revolution, Lenin takes Power in Russia, Russia turns in U.S.S.R., People were afraid of "un-american behaviors", examples include being foreign.

The Real OG back than!!
Besides Al Capone they were other famous gangster that we recently learned such as Bonnie and Clyde, Baby face Nelson and others. They all played a big role in crime in America. Why are they so important to be remember, well they shown fearless acts yet they were put down one way or another no matter how big they seem to be. Ive also learned about Ma Barker who I had never heard of but she used to do crimes with her four sons robbing and she kind of was their planner and driver who never got charge of any of the crimes commited.
Alcatraz "inescapable"
Alcatraz is a prison island surrounded by no other than the freezing water of the ocean. Its very affective to prisoners because the guards treat each individual prisoner like any other like Al Capone. Many prisoner tried to escape but it was nearly impossible for them. Some were moved from other jails to Alcatraz because theyre guards were not as strict.
