my community story

In Brownsville there are many different types of people
there are people that make money the honest way and there are people who don't. where i live is what we call the "Hood". The hood is where middle class and lower class people live. in my hood drug and gang violence takes place. you have those people that work 9 to 5 jobs and then you have those that sell drugs and get their money the illegal way. a lot of different residential areas are in my hood, there are houses, private owned buildings and housing facilities. the people on block are very friendly at times but then you have those that aren't and they just be hating. you have the loud mouth girls and the dice rolling boys and they really don't have any lives but they could. honestly they could go to school and have jobs instead of being on the corner all day and night. my hood is very complex and fun. i believe that the community that i live in is not well taken care of because the housing complexes and facilities aren't up to par and aren't cared for in the right manner. they need to be cleaned better and the gang and drug violence needs to cease. i love my community but i don't spend much time there. i was born and raised in what we call "Da Stuy". i just recently moved to Brownsville and i wish i hadn't. all of my connections are in da stuy and i hang out there because is a better environment to me. the people are fun and i just about know every body that i see.but no matter what you have to love your community.

my council member in my community

Erik Martin Dilan... my council member is the chair of housing. this connects with my community because there are a lot of housing facilities in my neighborhood such as Brownsville houses, Marcus Garvey and Saratoga houses. these are the low budget housing facilities in my neighborhood that are affordable and useful. i think that housing facilities should be car ed for even more because there is a lot of gang violence and drug trafficking all through these areas.

this is what makes me who i am

the why question

why is it so hard to be who you are?

the youth as well as adults deal with the issue of who they really are. by me being one of the youth of today i know that its hard to be yourself because people are always judging you, peer pressure, and just being self conscious. i know that people judge me every day because of how i look and some may actually think that they can judge me because they think they know me. but the only person that really knows me is ...me

the pros of being who you are is that no one can tell you who you are or interfere with your goals for life. the cons of being yourself is that you can only be who you really are sometimes, but that shit really aint cool because every one needs to be real at all times.

NAME: Madam C.J. Walker (birth name Sarah Breedlove)

DATE OF BIRTH: December 23, 1867

PLACE OF BIRTH: Delta, Louisiana

DATE OF DEATH: May 25, 1919

PLACE OF DEATH: New York, New York

FAMILY BACKGROUND: Sarah Breedlove, who later became known as Madam C. J. Walker, was born into a former-slave family to parents Owen and Minerva Breedlove. She had one older sister, Louvenia and brothers Alexander, James, Solomon and Owen, Jr. Her parents had been slaves on Robert W. Burney's Madison Parish farm which was a battle-staging area during the Civil War for General Ulysses S. Grant and his Union troops. She became an orphan at age 7 when her parents died during an epidemic of yellow fever. To escape the epidemic and failing cotton crops, the ten year old Sarah and her sister moved across the river to Vicksburg in 1878 and obtained work as maids. At the age of fourteen, Sarah married Moses McWilliams to escape her sister's abusive husband. They had a daughter, Lelia (later known as A'Lelia Walker, a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance). When Lelia was only two years old, McWilliams died. Sarah's second marriage to John Davis August 11, 1894 failed and ended sometime in 1903. She married for the third time in January, 1906 to newspaper sales agent, Charles Joseph Walker; they divorced around 1910.

Accomplishments:Madam Walker was quite the business woman. Her third husband, Charles Joseph Walker and her daughter Lelia had key roles in the growth and day-to-day operations of the business. In September, 1906 Madam Walker and her husband toured the country promoting their products and training sales agents while Lelia ran a mail-order operation from Denver. From 1908 to 1910 they operated a beauty training school, the Lelia College for Walker Hair Culturists, in Pittsburgh. In 1910 they moved the central operations to Indianapolis, then the country's largest manufacturing base, to utilize that city's access to eight major railway systems. At this height of success, Madam Walker gathered a group of key principals to run the company, and she and her husband divorced.She became an inspiration to many black women. Fully recognizing the power of her wealth and success she lectured to promote her business which in turn empowered other women in business. She gave lectures on black issues at conventions sponsored by powerful black institutions. She also encouraged black Americans to support the cause of World War I and worked to have black veterans granted full respect.After the bloody East St. Louis Race Riot of 1917, Madam Walker devoted herself to having lynching made a federal crime. In 1918 she was the keynote speaker at many National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) fund raisers for the anti-lynching effort throughout the Midwest and East. She was honored later that summer by the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) for making the largest contribution to saving the home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass. She donated large sums of money to the NAACP's anti-lynching campaign and later in her life revised her will to support black schools, organizations, individuals, orphanages, retirement homes, as well as YWCAs and YMCAs.

The end of her life:Madam Walker died at Villa Lewaro at the age of 51 on Sunday, May 25, 1919 from complications of hypertension. Upon her death she was considered to be the wealthiest African-American woman in America and known to be the first African-American woman millionaire. Some sources cite her as the first self-made American woman millionaire. Her daughter Lelia succeeded her as president of the C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company.

(November 1957)

"Now, I’m aware of the fact that some people will not like you, not because of something you have done to them, but they just won’t like you. I’m quite aware of that. Some people aren’t going to like the way you walk; some people aren’t going to like the way you talk. Some people aren’t going to like you because you can do your job better than they can do theirs. Some people aren’t going to like you because other people like you, and because you’re popular, and because you’re well-liked, they aren’t going to like you. Some people aren’t going to like you because your hair is a little shorter than theirs or your hair is a little longer than theirs. Some people aren’t going to like you because your skin is a little brighter than theirs; and others aren’t going to like you because your skin is a little darker than theirs. So that some people aren’t going to like you. They’re going to dislike you, not because of something that you’ve done to them, but because of various jealous reactions and other reactions that are so prevalent in human nature."

- Martin Luther King, jr.
