    Birmingham, the Bombing, and Restorative Justice

    The Past on Trial: Birmingham, the Bombing, and Restorative Justice S. Willoughby Andersont INTRODUCTION Since 1989, state and national law enforcement authorities have reopened or begun investigations into at least eighteen civil rights-era murders across the South. Of those, seven cases resulted in murder or manslaughter convictions. In almost as many cases, one or more of the primary suspects had already died. Most other civil rights-era cases can no longer lead to viable prosecutions due to immunity issues, the passage of time, or political inertia.1 These trials have captivated a national audience as elderly Klansmen sat before juries, answering for their attempts to keep Southern society racially segregated and, for many observers, personifying the society that the civil rights movement had struggled to eradicate. Birmingham, Alabama followed suit, convicting two such Klansmen in 2001 and 2002 for its most 2notorious civil rights-era atrocity, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing.

  • No Summit out of Sight by Jordan Romero

    No Summit out of Sight by Jordan Romero

    6th Grade Summer Reading No Summit Out of Sight By Jordan Romero Rationale for choosing the book: Part of the 6th grade curriculum will focus on geography, India and Mt. Everest. Having knowledge of the tallest summits, along with climbing conditions and information on the sherpas will help build your background knowledge for the history you will encounter this year. On the 6th grade team we also focus on personal goal setting, and Jordan is a true example and inspiration in this field! This book is full of fun facts, engaging events and it is truly inspiring. The book may seem big but I promise the pages turn quickly! Happy Reading! Book overview: Jordan Romero climbed Mount Everest at age thirteen—and he didn’t stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir, he tells how he achieved such great heights. On May 22, 2010, at the age of thirteen, American teenager Jordan Romero became the youngest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. At fifteen, he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. In this energizing memoir for young adults, Jordan, now seventeen, recounts his experience, which started as a spark of an idea at the age of nine and, many years of training and hard work later, turned into a dream come true. Assignment: After reading the book, choose 10 of the 15 questions listed below. Please type these answers in a Google Doc as you will be required to submit via Google Classroom during the first full week of school.
