if it helps, the little picture beside it looks like a shrimp. Or perhaps a snail with tentacles?!

SEVERAL teachers have tried to figure this one out with no success. I am starting to think there IS no right answer!

Thanks for trying!

"That [the Separate Car Act] does not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery...is too clear for argument...A statute which implies merely a legal distinction between the white and colored races -- a distinction which is founded in the color of the two races, and which must always exist so long as white men are distinguished from the other race by color -- has no tendency to destroy the legal equality of the two races...The object of the [Fourteenth A]mendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either." [5]
The lone dissenter, Justice John Harlan, showed incredible foresight when he wrote

"Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law...In my opinion, the judgment this day rendered will, in time, prove to be quite as pernicious as the decision made by this tribunal in the Dred Scott case...The present decision, it may well be apprehended, will not only stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal and irritating, upon the admitted rights of colored citizens, but will encourage the belief that it is possible, by means of state enactments, to defeat the beneficient purposes which the people of the United States had in view when they adopted the recent amendments of the Constitution." [6]
Over time, the words of Justice Harlan rang true. The Plessy decision set the precedent that "separate" facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were "equal." The "separate but equal" doctrine was quickly extended to cover many areas of public life, such as restaurants, theaters, restrooms, and public schools. Not until 1954, in the equally important Brown v. Board of Education decision, would the "separate but equal" doctrine be struck down.

I have a question concerning colleges and how you get into their programs. For example, I want to go to UC San Diego to get into their pharmacy school but when I apply, do I apply for that school or UCSD in general and then progress after that? I'm confused. Also, does anyone know any good colleges for Pharmacy in California/USA and the tuition costs? Alot of questions yes. ^^

“A hundred pounds of Sermons on tolerance, or an equal measure of invective deploring the lack of it, will weigh far less in the scale of enlightenment than a mere 18 ounces of new fiction bearing the title To Kill a Mockingbird.”

If the calculation that we used is based on the data before the revision, their forward funding will be in minus position. But if we used the data that they have revised, the position of the forward funding will be one month (excluding incremental funding). However, we will review the pipeline and forward funding for IN ACCE in order to get the figures for appropriate pipeline and forward funding.
