February 1, 1960 four African American students came together to protest the inequality served at public facilities and in this case at a local restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina. During this time, African Americans were allowed to order food to go only, and weren’t allowed to dine in and receive full service. The four students proceeded to sit at the F. W.

    A hush falls over the small diner. One man sits with his sandwich suspended halfway to his mouth as his jaw drops open in shock while another woman stands up so abruptly that her milkshake plunges off the table in an apparent attempt to evade the ensuing conflict. The four African-American college students sit at the Whites-Only lunch counter in Woolworth’s that February 1, 1960, appearing almost serene in their act of civil disobedience.

It is this inherent nature of the Internet that renders DDoS victims unable to determine the ideals behind the act, as there is no method to reveal whether the act was in protest or with malevolent intent. These…

    young students as long as they follow the class rules of a “turn and talk” activity.

    handwriting and I look at hers now, they’re vastly different. They’re both cursive, but any similarities end there. I took something I didn’t like about myself, and instead of hiding it and allowing it to be underdeveloped, I developed it into something I knew I could be proud of.

We live in a world colored by envy- we wish…
