Blacks Achieve in Government

     Dr. Condoleeza Rice is the first black women ever to assist the president. She works for the National Security Affairs. Colin L. Powell became the first black Secretary of State.

     Dr. Rice grew up in Alabama during segregation. Rice went to college at fifteen years old. She served on former President George Bush's National Security Council.

     Powell grew up in a poor New York area. He was determined to work his way out of it. Powell was a professional soldier for thirty-five years. Secretary Powell was also the founder of America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth.

     I think Powell and Rice are two intelligent people. They got far in life and did not let their color get in the way. Dr. Rice went to college at the age of fifteen years old. She is smarter than smart. Powell came from a poor family to Secretary of State. He got real far. It is not easy doing what they do! Tell what you would do if you were in their shoes.

Vote or Die

     Did you know that back in the day women did not have the right to vote? Men expected women to watch the kids and work at home. Men got to work away from home and vote. Women didn’t favor this. When the women went to vote men told them they couldn’t. How would you feel if you were in this situation?

     Voting is very important and now days women get to vote. Now voting is all over the television. When I watch M.T.V. my show stops and plays something about voting. It is also all over the news. What would you say if this happened to you?

     All over the television people say “Vote or Die”. I think it means if you don’t vote a bad president can be elected. That saying is very strong. If you think about it you could be in danger. The president could be disguised. He could be an Iraqi. What do you think “Vote or Die” means? You should really think about it.
