ida b. wells
journalist ida b. wells-barnett launched a campaign against lynching after a white mob lynched three african americans in 1892 in memphis. she paid a price for her vocal opposition. the newspaper offices where she worked were wrecked and her life was threatened by racists. she moved to new york and then chicago, and continued writing and lecturing about lynching until her death in 1931. with the help of the naacp, the demand for antilynching laws became part of the progressive agenda. although more than 3,000 lynchings had been recorded by the 1920s, southern opposition blocked every anti-lynching bill in congress.

rhetoric (aristotle)
here are a couple of examples of how aristotle's rhetoric has been used in real life and history:
in a political campaign: a political candidate might use aristotle's rhetoric to win over voters. for example, they might establish their credibility by highlighting their experience and qualifications, appeal to the emotions of voters by discussing issues that are important to them, and present a logical argument by outlining their policies and addressing potential concerns.
in a courtroom: lawyers often use aristotle's rhetoric to persuade a jury or judge. they might establish their credibility by discussing their education and experience, appeal to the emotions of the jury by sharing stories about the impact of the case on the plaintiffs or defendants, and present a logical argument by using evidence and legal precedent to support their position.
in a business presentation: a business person might use aristotle's rhetoric to persuade a potential investor or client. they might establish their credibility by discussing their experience in the industry, appeal to the emotions of the audience by highlighting the benefits of their product or service, and present a logical argument by discussing the financial projections and potential return on investment.
overall, aristotle's rhetoric can be used in a variety of contexts where effective communication is important. it can help speakers to persuade their audience by establishing their credibility, appealing to their emotions, and presenting a logical argument. -

termessos
one of the two cities that could not be captured by alexander the great. imageimageimageimage
history of termessos
termessos is primarily known as the city that could not be conquered by the macedonian emperor and warlord, alexander the great. unfortunately, aside from the journals kept during alexander the great's military campaign in asia minor and a few surviving records from the roman empire era, there are few documents that could illuminate the history of termessos. it is still unknown when and by whom termessos was founded.
the city was first mentioned in history during alexander the great's siege. here are a few known facts about the city:
– despite the fact that termessos was a part of the roman empire, it had always been an autonomous city due to its remoteness.
– in 71 b.c, the roman senate unanimously voted for an act allowing termessos to be autonomous and make its own laws.
– the inhabitants of termessos called themselves the solym people, descending from the pamphylian greeks.
– a severe earthquake hit the city at a yet-undetermined date, destroying the aqueducts and cutting off the main water supply. subsequently, the solyms abandoned the city.
termessos hosts the tomb of alcetas who was one of the generals of alexander the great. -
alcetas
alcetas was a prominent macedonian warlord who was mentioned among alexander the great's influential generals. after alexander's death, alcetas was challenged by antigonus, one of alexander's commanders. the war between the two warlords took place in the region of psidia and resulted in alcetas' resounding defeat. alcetas sought refuge in termessos, and the residents of the city provided protection to him. in subsequent months, in order to protect the city from danger, the elders of termessos wanted to hand alcetas over to antigonus, who had set his military camp at the foot of the mountain. alcetas did not want to face a gruesome death, so he took his own life. to this day, his grave lies on a rock wall in the highlands of termessos.
the grave is a 15-minute trek from the colonnaded street of termessos. it is a pleasant hike, not a cumbersome one. the first thing i noticed upon reaching the site was the large rock carving of alcetas on a horse on the wall above the grave. it surprised me greatly to see that this rock carving survived despite harsh natural elements, such as the scorching heat and interminable humidity. image
