Democracy Now 8

Cynthia Davila

I read a couple articles and the first one I read was about president Obama paying a tribute to the civil rights movement. On Thursday president Johnson was also paid by Obama. This took place at the Johnson presidential library in Austin, Texas. The passage of social programs such as Medicare and the voting rights act of 1965 was hailed by Obama. The voting rights act of 1965 was taken away by the Supreme Court. On July 2, 1964 it was the 50th anniversary since Johnson signed the landmark Civil Rights Act. Outside of the library, the statue Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was chained by immigrants who were also chained to it from the rights activists group and were protesting the Obama administrations records for the deportation of immigrants. 2/3 of immigrants committed minor infractions such as traffic violations or had no criminal record at all. The other subject that I learned about was about the U.N. Approving 12,000 members force for Central African Republic. The approvement of the development of a 12,000 member peacekeeping force was approved by the United Nations Security Council. Violence has been between Christians and Muslims which have sparked tears of genocide causing thousands to be killed and hundreds or thousands displaced in months if fighting eachother. The Christians carried out revenge by killing following abuses by Muslim rebels who had the power in a coup last March. The country's foreign minister praised the U.N.'s resolution to intervene took place on Thursday. On Tuesday, about 30 people were killed when a Christian militia attacked a town of rebels in a rural area North if the capital of Bangui. It seems as it it's a fude and rivalry that will be very difficult to regain it's composure and cause peace between the two.
