MOB RULE IN NEW ORLEANS: ROBERT CHARLES AND HIS FIGHT TO DEATH, THE STORY OF HIS LIFE, BURNING HUMAN BEINGS ALIVE, OTHER LYNCHING STATISTICS BY IDA B. WELLS-BARNETT 1900 [Transcriber's Note: This pamphlet was first published in 1900 but was subsequently reprinted. It's not apparent if the curiosities in spelling date back to the original or were introduced later; they have been retained as found, and the reader is left to decide. Please verify with another source before quoting this material. Of special note are the names Cantrell/Cantrelle, Porteous/Porteus, and Ziegel/Zeigel.] INTRODUCTION Immediately after the awful barbarism which disgraced the State of Georgia in April of last year, during which time more than a dozen colored people were put to death with unspeakable barbarity, I published a full report showing that Sam Hose, who was burned to death during that time, never committed a criminal assault, and that he killed his employer in self-defense. Since that time I have been engaged on a work not yet finished, which I interrupt now to tell the story of the mob in New Orleans, which, despising all law, roamed the streets day and night, searching for colored men and women, whom they beat, shot and killed at will. In the account of the New Orleans mob I have used freely the graphic reports of the New Orleans Times-Democrat and the New Orleans Picayune. Both papers gave the most minute details of the week's disorder. In their editorial comment they were at all times most urgent in their defense of law and in the strongest terms they condemned the infamous work of the mob. It is no doubt owing to the determined stand for law and order taken by these great dailies and the courageous action taken by the best citizens of New Orleans, who rallied to the support of the civic authorities, that prevented a massacre of colored people awful to contemplate. For the accounts and illustrations taken from the above-named journals, sincere thanks are hereby expressed. The publisher hereof does not attempt to moralize over the deplorable condition of affairs shown in this publication, but simply presents the facts in a plain, unvarnished, connected way, so that he who runs may read. We do not believe that the American people who have encouraged such scenes by their indifference will read unmoved these accounts of brutality, injustice and oppression. We do not believe that the moral conscience of the nation—that which is highest and best among us—will always remain silent in face of such outrages, for God is not dead, and His Spirit is not entirely driven from men's hearts. When this conscience wakes and speaks out in thunder tones, as it must, it will need facts to use as a weapon against injustice, barbarism and wrong. It is for this reason that I carefully compile, print and send forth these facts. If the reader can do no more, he can pass this pamphlet on to another, or send to the bureau addresses of those to whom he can order copies mailed. Besides the New Orleans case, a history of burnings in this country is given, together with Functions of Human Life Functions of Human Life Bởi: OpenStaxCollege The different organ systems each have different functions and therefore unique roles to perform in physiology These many functions can be summarized in terms of a few that we might consider definitive of human life: organization, metabolism, responsiveness, movement, development, and reproduction Organization A human body consists of trillions of cells organized in a way that maintains distinct internal compartments These compartments keep body cells separated from external environmental threats and keep the cells moist and nourished They also separate internal body fluids from the countless microorganisms that grow on body surfaces, including the lining of certain tracts, or passageways The intestinal tract, for example, is home to even more bacteria cells than the total of all human cells in the body, yet these bacteria are outside the body and cannot be allowed to circulate freely inside the body Cells, for example, have a cell membrane (also referred to as the plasma membrane) that keeps the intracellular environment—the fluids and organelles—separate from the extracellular environment Blood vessels keep blood inside a closed circulatory system, and nerves and muscles are wrapped in connective tissue sheaths that separate them from surrounding structures In the chest and abdomen, a variety of internal membranes keep major organs such as the lungs, heart, and kidneys separate from others The body’s largest organ system is the integumentary system, which includes the skin and its associated structures, such as hair and nails The surface tissue of skin is a barrier that protects internal structures and fluids from potentially harmful microorganisms and other toxins Energy Transfer and Metabolism The first law of thermodynamics holds that energy can neither be created nor destroyed—it can only change form Your basic function as an organism is to consume (ingest) energy and molecules in the foods you eat, convert some of it into fuel for 1/6 Functions of Human Life movement, sustain your body functions, and build and maintain your body structures There are two types of reactions that accomplish this: anabolism and catabolism • Anabolism is the process whereby smaller, simpler molecules are combined into larger, more complex substances Your body can assemble, by utilizing energy, the complex chemicals it needs by combining small molecules derived from the foods you eat • Catabolism is the process by which larger more complex substances are broken down into smaller simpler molecules Catabolism releases energy The complex molecules found in foods are broken down so the body can use their parts to assemble the structures and substances needed for life Taken together, these two processes are called metabolism Metabolism is the sum of all anabolic and catabolic reactions that take place in the body ([link]) Both anabolism and catabolism occur simultaneously and continuously to keep you alive Metabolism Anabolic reactions are building reactions, and they consume energy Catabolic reactions break materials down and release energy Metabolism includes both anabolic and catabolic reactions Every cell in your body makes use of a chemical compound, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to store and release energy The cell stores energy in the synthesis (anabolism) of ATP, then moves the ATP molecules to the location where energy is needed to fuel cellular activities Then the ATP is broken down (catabolism) and a controlled amount of energy is released, which is used by the cell to perform a particular job 2/6 Functions of Human Life View this animation to learn more about metabolic processes What kind of catabolism occurs in the heart? Responsiveness Responsiveness is the ability of an organism to adjust to changes in its internal and external environments An example of responsiveness to external stimuli could include moving toward sources of food and water and away from perceived dangers Changes in an organism’s internal environment, such as increased body temperature, can cause the responses of sweating and the dilation of blood vessels in the skin in order to decrease body temperature, as shown by the runners in [link] Movement Human movement includes not only actions at the joints of the body, but also the motion of individual organs and even individual cells As you read these words, red and white blood cells are moving throughout your body, muscle cells are contracting and relaxing to maintain your posture and to focus your vision, and glands are secreting chemicals to regulate body functions Your body is coordinating the action of entire muscle groups to enable you to move air into and out of your lungs, to push blood throughout your body, and to propel the food you have eaten through your digestive tract Consciously, of course, you contract your skeletal muscles to move the bones of your skeleton to get from one place to another (as the runners are doing ...The Biology of Human Survival: Life and Death in Extreme Environments CLAUDE A.

Wells This page intentionally left blank To persevere across far-ranging environments is profoundly human, but life at the extremes is constrained in extraordinary ways. The diversity of environments in which people are found, either as permanent inhabitants or as temporary visi- tors, ranges from the high Andes to the scorched Sahara to the frigid Arctic, yet these places are a small fraction of those that harbor life in the thin biosphere around the planet’s surface. Most of Earth is too inhospitable for even optimally adapted individuals, and out of necessity, curiosity, or self-indulgence, we have invented technologies to venture into previously impenetrable domains, from the depths of the oceans to the depths of space. Humans on the frontiers of exploration are tested to the limits of their lives. The Biology of Human Survival pinpoints critical factors that dictate life or death at the utmost reaches, including those places accessible to humans only with life- support technology. The book presents environmental physiology using modern, integrated concepts of stress, tolerance, and adaptation. Barriers to life in extreme environments, such as dehydration, starvation, and radiation, are described in separate chapters. Other chapters explain the problems unique to specific envi- ronments by examining the determinants of an individual’s survival at extremes of cold, heat, altitude, or immersion. Key issues in these specialized settings are illustrated with examples of extreme hardship from great exploits that have at- tracted people’s attention throughout history.

ACKNOWLEDGE First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratituide to our supervisor Mrs.Nhu Ngoc for her ethusiastic instrucion to make my research feasiable. Second, I would like to thank many people who i interviewed and large information resources on the internet, book, and other’s helped me finish my research. II. INTRODUCTION Book is a product of society, a tool to accumulate, spreading knowledge from generation to generation. Books contain the cultural and spiritual values (the compositions or compilation) of the form of social consciousness and different art, is recorded in the forms of different languages (scripts, images, sounds, symbols, ) of the different peoples in order to store, accumulate, spread in society. With the development of science and technology, however, had an strong impact on teenage especially in 15 to 18 years old. It’s not only has positive but also negative. It’s not only make them take away from book but also do not know how to reading book. So, I want to find out about the reading book of teenage from 15 to 18 years old today to find a way to help them understand the value of book and how to reading book scientifically. With this purpose, I have three question to solve my problem but number two and number three is main part. 1. How is reading book scientifically and effectively ? 2. How is reading book of teenage today ? 3. How to improve their reading book better ? III. METHODOLOGY Firstly, I decide to choose interviewing some teenages or group teenage from other different school or other place because I want to observed their expression when they answer. Beside, there is some problem arising while I interview them and information that they answer is not less and I can’t liệt kê được if I choose questionaire method. Moreover, some information in my research need not teenage answer. Secondly, I choose teenage from 15 to 18 years old because they are in the growing up age. They are people who have to reading book every day. Beside, they are also people are exposed with technology than other’s. I also find on the internet, magazing, newspapers to finish my research.
