The Intellectual in the middle in the video explaining MLK’s upbring is a Youtuber by the name of Kid President. Kid President is explaining the early life of Martin Luther King Jr. I also liked how kid notes that everybody wasn’t treated fairly. Martin Luther was one of the civil rights leader who paved the way for african americans facing discrimination for the color of their skin. Martin Luther King’s perserverance and optimistic perspective on freedom was perfect for his dream of equality. Although Martin was not liked by majority of whites, he had an immense amount determination. Kid also shares his idea on people dreaming about equality worldwide; I thought this was intriguing.

Duke Ellington was born April 29, 1899. Raised  by his very own talented parents, Duke began to learn to learn piano. By age 15, Duke Ellington wrote his first composition called ” Soda Fountain Rag” in inspiration of his job as a Soda jerk. Duke was greatly rewarded a stunning scholarship to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, yet wanted to continue his job as a soda jerk and played professionally at age seventeen.  The nineteen year old Duke and his girlfriend Edna Thompson became married and conceived one child. Duke rose to fame to fame when composed his masterpieces “cotton tail” “Ko-Ko”. Also, songs like “It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing,” “Sophisticated Lady,” “Prelude to a Kiss,” and “Solitude”. Ellington most favorite jazz song was “Take the A Train” referring to a sub way in New York City, where duke composed his original masterpiece.It was Ellington’s sense of musical drama that made him stand out in a crowd. His blend of melodies, rhythms and subtle sonic movements gave his listeners a fresh new experience. Ellington’s autobiography, called “Music is my Mistress”, was published in 1973. Ellington earned 12 Grammy awards from 1959 to 2000. In 1959 Duke was awarded the Springarn Medal from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

the social issue im resaerching is police bruality. This issue caused alot of animosity between policeman and citizens. Majority of people view police using excessive force is necessary and justifiable. This Majority usually contain Public figures, politicians, police departments, jurors, judges, and fellow police memebers. I think the best soultion for police brutality is body-moutned cameras on cops and dashboard cameras for squad cars. I also think community policing is excellent way of diminishing police misconduct. I personally think Community policing is a very effective way of getting rid of police brutality. a pro of community policing brings the citizens and police together in a friendly manner. Certain programs have already been distributed out through america today. However, a selective few of people may feel uneasy and restless having their property watched consistently. Moreover, this can also bring that selective few of people away from police cooperation. These Cons can be a struggle for cops trying to monitor the area for corrupted area.

How would you feel police kept your community under persistent surveillance? Would you rebel against the community or try to cooperate with the police? Would you try anything illegal with cops being at your door step? Would you try to become an police officer?
