Charles W. Chestnutt: The House Behind the Cedars (1900)
[ send me this paper ]
(9 pp) The success of "passing" for white dangles in front of those with "mixed blood," in the South of the post-Civil war. Education and training may make "the passing," easier to accomplish, but still maintains a social fragility, that is always in danger of collapsing. Chestnutt mines this psychological tension, as we wish for our major characters to succeed, and at the same time realize the odds and the history, that they are working against.

Civil Rights Act Of 1964 As It Relates To Community Policing
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Instilling a new approach to addressing the interminable presence of racism, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped to establish a precedent of changes throughout society, not the least of which included the concept of community policing. If communities were going to come together, it had to begin with the manner by which law enforcement behaved when dealing with racial issues. With a somewhat tarnished history of interracial relations, community policing mandated by the Civil Rights Act represented the opportunity for the police force to work with – rather than against – ethnic criminals.
