malcolm x
human rights activist who strove to educate the public about injustices done to black people in america.
"if violence is wrong in america, violence is wrong abroad. if it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for america to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. and if it is right for america to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country." -
taxation without representation
what upset the colonists about a tax such as the 1765 stamp act was that it was imposed on them without their consent. their assemblies could not vote on the tax, and they had no representatives in parliament "no taxation without representation" became their rallying cry.
a large minority, known as patriots, formed the sons of liberty and the daughters of liberty. these organizations asked colonial merchants not to trade with the british, and the daughters of liberty boycotted british goods.
a stamp act congress with delegates from nine colonies met in new york in october 1765. it sent a petition urging parliament to repeal the tax. one delegate stated what many were feeling: "there ought to be no new englanders, no new yorkers ... but all of us americans." parliament repealed the stamp tax but immediately passed a declaratory act, which said that only parliament had the authority to make laws for the colonies. -
wounded knee massacre
in 1889, some plains indians turned to a prophetic religious movement based on the "ghost dance," a group ritual that was supposed to give followers a vision of the world in 1891, when the whites would disappear and buffalo herds would return. the movement spread, and army officials feared a sioux uprising, so they rounded up suspected leaders. late in 1890, soldiers were holding 350 sioux at wounded knee creek in south dakota. gunfire was heard, and the soldiers opened fire on the sioux. nearly 200 men, women, and children were killed or wounded. organized indian resistance was at an end.

walking
--spoiler--
walking is not sport. sport is a discipline, "an ethic, a labour". it is a performance. walking, on the other hand, "is the best way to go more slowly than any other method that has ever been found". if you want to go faster, don't walk. do something else: drive, slide, fly.
