There are no results for This Change is a Regal Idea Mary O'Dell 1. Thank you for coming out on this cold December morning. Many of us, students AND professors, have a tough time making it to an 8:00 class on Monday mornings. It takes a little extra effort-leaving the warmth of our beds to brave the wintry weather. So having you join us, bright and early, for this presentation on campus policy recommendations is great. It is my pleasure to be here. 2. But here at Regal University, handicapped students report being unable to even get to class. This is because of uncleared snow left to pile up on ramps, entrances, and walkways. According to the National Climatic Data Center, our winter season’s average temperature is twenty two degrees and we have an annual snowfall of over seventy eight inches. We must come up with a workable solution to enable all students to access the campus and classrooms safely. The snow creates a dangerous situation often blocking entrances, prohibiting wheelchairs from entering. Angie, a fellow classmate of mine, was injured when she tried to get through the snow last week. Her wheelchair tipped over. She will not be back this semester. According to campus security, during November and December alone, four student injury reports involved ice or snow covered ramps. 3. Barrier-free access to public buildings is required. The uncleared snow is a barrier. We are in violation of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a civil rights act that was passed by Congress and signed by the president. It is not a suggestion. It is mandatory. This act states that, “People with disabilities have the right to full and equal access to any facility or accommodation of any public place.” Accepting tuition from handicapped students and then not providing safe access to the classrooms for instruction is like having a customer pay for a brand new car, but not providing keys to the vehicle. 4. The solution is to clear the snow in appropriate areas when it accumulates to one-half inch or more. Areas that need plows to clear snow should be identified and prioritized. My proposal adds ramps and curb cutaways to the priority list of areas. I have been told by grounds safety supervisor, Steven Adams, that parking lots and stairs are the only areas currently set as a priority. 5. Please help me educate the board members and leaders of our university . Encourage them to change our snow removal plan. I have petitions on the back tables. Your signature marks your commitment to barrier free access at Regal University. All students should be able to get to their 8:00 a.m. classes!

Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it, but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "do-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for the doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup, and a few verbs like sit, stand, and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent on errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offense to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Read the two excerpts.

"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:

As for Trujillo, he stayed in power until 1961, when he was assassinated. Last year, the BBC spoke with one of the army officers who killed the dictator. "The only way to get rid of him was to kill him,” Gen. Antonio Imbert told the BBC.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

On May 30, 1961, nine months after our escape from our homeland, the group of plotters with whom my father had been associated assassinated the dictator. Actually, Dominicans do not refer to the death as an assassination but as an ajusticiamiento, a bringing to justice. Finally, after thirty-one years, Trujillo was brought to justice, found guilty, and executed.

But the execution was an external event, not necessarily an internal exorcism. All their lives my parents, along with a nation of Dominicans, had learned the habits of repression, censorship, terror. Those habits would not disappear with a few bullets and a national liberation proclamation. They would not disappear on a plane ride north that put hundreds of miles distance between the island and our apartment in New York.

The subject of both passages is

the circumstances under which Trujillo died.
how Trujillo's death affected individuals.
how Trujillo improved the Dominican Republic.
what life was like under the dictatorship.
