SEGREGATION IN THE USA: A
FEW HISTORICAL FACTS
Segregation in buses
Slavery and colonisation began in 1619,
when the first black slaves arrived in Virgina.
Those slaves were brought to be used in the
13 Colonies (British North America). In the
middle of the 18th Century, a movement
called Abolitionism appeared. They wanted
to abolish slavery, as the name of the
movement suggests. A Century after the
rebellion, the northern states decided to
end slavery. The South was against the end
of that policy. The slaves worked for example
in cotton fields, and the masters did not
have to pay them for their workforce.
The Civil War began in 1861, because the South decided to
leave the United States. The Confederate States of America
(South) fought against the Union (North). Jefferson Davis was
the leader pf the Confederate States of America, and Abraham
Lincoln was the one of the Union. He was part of the
Republican Party, and won the 1860 presidential elections.
After 4 years of war, he led the Union to victory in
1865.
Rosa Parks, a bold woman in the chaos...
Rosa Parks was born in 1913, and grew up in Montgomery,
Alabama. She was one of the famous African American
activist because she refused to relinquish her seat to a white
man in a bus. At the time, there were three sections in buses:
one for white people, another for black people, and the third
one for both of them. If the third section was full, black
people had to move to let their seat to white people. Rosa
Parks was arrested and jailed, but her protest was useful,
because there was a boycott of public transports in
Montgomery. It was an important event of the Civil Right
15
Movement. This system ended in 1956.

Then, there was a period
of Reconstruction,
because many people
died, and some buildings
has been destroyed.
Abraham Lincoln
Even though slavery ended, there was still
racism and segregation in the USA. From
1877 to 1964, the Jim Crow Laws restricted
the rights of African Americans. There were
restrictions in public transports, in schools,
in employment,... They also did not have the
right to vote as the White Americans. The
principle of citizenship was undermined.
Many African American tried to rebel against
those laws, and decided to fight against
injustice, such as Rosa Parks.
The following years, things happened, the
society changed, but there were too much
inequalities. During the 1970s, it was the
beginning of mass incarceration of black
people, because they were accused of selling
and consuming drugs. It was another way to
discriminate the black community.
Nowadays, there is still to much violence
(expecially police violence) against black
people in the USA (and in the whole world).
In 2009, Barack Obama
has been elected
president. He became
the first black president
in the USA.
Black Lives Matter
movement was born in

IS ART THE BEST WAY TO RAISE
BLACK VOICES?
You are probably wondering why art seems to be the best way to
raise black voices, and what brings art to fight against inequalities. In
this article, I am going to give you proofs, by quoting famous African
American artists, that art is not only a way of entertainment.
Art is, intrinsically, the language of emotions, there is something universal in it. For
example, when we look at the painting "The problem we all live with" (1964), we can feel
pity for this little girl, escorted to go to school. There are also documentaries and a lot of
pictures which illustrate BLM movement, and the fight against racial inequalities.
However, in my opinion, the best kind of art to pass emotions is literature. In The Bluest
Eye by Toni Morrison (review p.16), we can really feel the pain of this poor little Pecola
who just wanted to be a part of the society, to exist for people, to be loved, to be seen as
a human being as white people are. The process of identification is important to raise
black voices and to fight against inequalities.
Art also brings representation, and I think that without
representation, there is no power. We can fight against anything,
but if we have nothing to illustrate against what we are fighting,
the battle is vain. The photograph below (segregation in buses) is a
good example to illustrate what I am saying here, because we know
the truth, and we can find the terrible injustice in front of us,
without really being in the situation of the ones who lived it. We
can imagine how they felt in front of this chaos. The images we can
see in the movie "The 13th" are also very shocking sometimes, but
that is why they are interesting. This documentary is a masterpiece
because it shows the reality of history.
Representing historical and actual
fights is hard, especially when the
battle is against a social problem,
such as inequalities only based on
skin colour. Art is the best way to
deliver a message, because it can
be understood thanks to the
emotional power of that way of
17 representation.

ONE THEME, ONE BOOK
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Have you ever imagined being born as a black girl in a
society where being born as a black girl in a society where
being a woman is not easy, but also where whiteness is the
only thing that makes a person beautiful?
The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison's first novel. The story
takes place in Lorain (Ohio) during the years following the
Great Depression. The main character is Pecola Breedlove,
a young black girl who is mocked for the colour of her skin
by the whole society, even her parents. According to them,
being beautiful means to be white and to have blue eyes.
Her father is alcoholic and abusive, and her mother works
as a servant for a wealthy white family, and considers
herself as white, she is in denial of her own identity. The
point of view is constantly changing, alternating between
Claudia MacTeer, the daughter of Pecola's foster parents and Frieda's sister, and an
external third-person narrator.
This novel aims at denouncing the tragedy which is created by racism and xenophobia.
Pecola represents all the victims of this tragedy: beginning her life with self-hatred, she
becomes mad at the end of the book.
In my opinion, this story is a masterpiece, because it develops a lot of interesting themes
and problems related to the history of African Americans in the United States. Through the
story of each black character, we can find different ways of reacting to racism. For
example, Claudia wants to accept herself, Cholly becomes violent, and Pecola wants to be
someone else so badly that she goes crazy thinking that her eyes became blue.

Read carefully this
review to create your

choice!
As mentioned previously, there is an aliternating point of
view in The Bluest Eye. At fist, we can feel a little bit lost,
because we do not really know what happen, where we
are in the story, and who is the narrator. However, we get
used to it, and it becomes pleasant to read, because we do
not only see Pecola's story from only one perspective.
To conclude, I highly recommend this book! If you want
to know more about the impact of segregation and racial
inequalities on African American's vision of themselves,
you should read The Bluest Eye! I would like to add that
Toni Morrison is a highly talented writer! Go for it! :)18

Vaccination
How it it works, how it it had been invented, why it it is is
important
https://www.lemoniteur77.com/covid-vaccination-mode-demploi-5856.html
22

How does it work?
Vaccines
Vaccination is a preventive medical technique. It consists in the injection of a
component called a vaccine to help the immune system to create an effective
protection against an infectious disease. But how does it work? What is a vaccine
made of? Why does the immune system react against the vaccine, and why this
protection is working against a real disease later in the patient’s life?
The immune system is the ultimate human
body’s defence against a germ which had
passed through our other defences (skin, mucus,
cilia). When a pathogen infects our body, the
immune system reacts. It is triggered by this
intruder and attacks it. The pathogens have
subparts called antigens which are like
signatures and makes them recognizable. When
the body meets a new pathogen, it creates
specific antibodies. Antibodies are specific, they
attack one type of pathogen. They are like little
body soldiers; they will recognize and attack the
pathogen they are made for. The immune
system produces specific soldiers that will
attack everything having the same antigen.
When everything goes well, the pathogen is
destroyed or overcome.
This operation takes some time, and the
patient can develop symptoms (which means
they are sick) during this time lapse. If the
disease is too dangerous, if the symptoms are
too strong, the person can have long-term
sequalae or even die. Hopefully, our immune
system has a memory: if it has already met a
pathogen, it won’t need to re-study it and will
react immediately. The pathogen is destroyed
early enough, and the patient never get sick. He
often does not even know that he had been
infected.
23
But sometimes, diseases are so dangerous
they can have severe consequences after the
first infection. In these cases, we need to train
our immune system and teach it how to defend
the body against those intruders. This is the
objective of vaccination. A dose of vaccine
contains weakened or inactive fragments of a
pathogen that trigger the immune system and
create a response. These fragments cannot
make a patient sick but have the same signature
than the alive pathogen. The body creates
antibodies to destroy this precise pathogen.
Thanks to this action, the “recipe” of these
antibodies is present in the memory of the
patient’s immune system. Then, if the patient is
infected by the pathogen, their body react early
enough, and the disease does not develop.

Understanding... through questions!
Why is the immune system’s
response specific? Wouldn’t it be
more useful to kill every single germ
we meet?
Actually, every germ or microorganism is not
harmful. A lot of bacteria or viruses are even
useful for us. You have a lot of microbes in
your intestines for example, and the
mitochondria (“the powerhouse” of the cells)
have been incorporated into human body
thanks to a contact with bacteria. That’s why
your immune system cannot “kill everything”
but needs to select the harmful organisms and
let the helping or harmless ones live in peace.
We use the word pathogen, which means
“harmful germ, disease-causing organism”, and
pathogens are what the vaccines protect us
from.
Why do we need several injections of
the same vaccine?
The memory of the immune system can be
deficient or can be lost through time. If you do
not meet the pathogen for years, why would
your body lose resources in prevention against
it? You need several injections (every 5, 10 or
more years), so your body does not forget the
pathogen and the recipe for corresponding
antibodies. As you do not know when you will
meet a new threat, you have to be prepared at
any time, it is the same logic than fire drills.
Some vaccines, like the COVID 19
vaccines, need 2 or more injections in
a row. Why?
Your immune memory isn’t so short! It is
because the response to the first injection is not
strong enough and cannot last and be efficient
long enough, so we need to tickle patients’
systems a little more.
Why are some diseases not fightable
with vaccines?
Every microorganism is different. Their goal
(not conscious, obviously) is the same as any
living creature: to survive and reproduce. And
some of them have evolved to be very effective
in spreading, infecting, or hiding inside of the
host body. For example, the HIV, the virus
causing the AIDS, hides in the immune
system’s cells! It is impossible to vaccine
people against the HIV, as its signature is not
recognizable and it’s not killable by our human
body.
Why are some people against
vaccines?
Some people are concerned about vaccination.
The main reason is the possible link between
vaccines and some pathologies (autism or
sclerosis for example). Indeed, a lot of children
who are diagnosed with these diseases happen
to have been vaccinated a short time before the
diagnosis. It is natural for parents to be worried
about their children, but it is important to be
aware of the reality of this event chain.
Actually, the age at which a child is often
diagnosed is the same than the age of
mandatory vaccination in several countries
(very beginning of life or early teenagerhood).
These are unfortunate coincidences.
Furthermore, even if these diseases are noticed
at a certain age, they are birth pathologies.
They do not appear after birth (meaning that a
child diagnosed at 15 y. o. has actually been
autistic all his life!). Other reasons of these
concerns are adjuvants. Adjuvants are added to
vaccines to 'tickle' the immune system. They
are useful to create a bigger and stronger
response of the immune system of the patient.
But some adjuvants are questionable, even if
the quantities used in current vaccines are
harmless.

News
Source of innovation and inequalities at the same time, the extreme
situations are always very revealing. Recently, the COVID 19 pandemic
highlighted several aspects of our society, good or bad. From a revolutionary
vaccination method to denunciations of the occidental monopolization of
the vaccine doses, let’s draw a short summary of the current situation of
vaccination.
COVAX and global inequalities
COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access, or
“COVAX”, is a global campaign led by three
international organizations working in the
field of vaccination: GAVI, CEPI and WHO. The
initiative started in April 2020 and was
created by the WHO and the European
Commission. It aimed at a global and
equitable access to COVID-19 vaccination.
Concretely, it is a solidarity program in which
countries having access to vaccines (Western
and developed countries in majority) make
donations of vaccine doses to countries
struggling to have access to this resource (a
majority of these countries are African and
Eastern countries). The first donator of the
initiative has been France, with 105 600 doses
sent to Mauritania in mid-April 2021.
Furthermore, the French President E. Macron
announced a donation of 500 000 to COVAX
by the end of June. If the initiative seems
noble and generous, it is important to keep in
mind that such a program would have not
been necessary if there were no gaps of
resources and vaccination inequalities
between the different continents.
More than 2500 millions of doses were
ordered by Europe, far beyond 105 000 doses,
and promises of the rest of Western countries
won’t vaccinate anyone.
COVID 19 and innovation: a new
method of vaccination
The vaccine works by helping our body
recognize the pathogens thanks to the
knowledge of their specific antigens. An RNA
vaccine works by studying the genome of the
pathogen: you do not study its surface or
external specificities, but it’s “source code”, if
you want. The DNA and RNA are the codes
permitting an alive creature to produce
proteins and molecules that constitute itself.
To produce an RNA vaccine, you need to
study the genome of the virus to identify the
problematic segments (the segment coding
the part of the virus you want to combat).
This way, the vaccine is more specific and
efficient. In the case of COVID 19, the vaccines
are learning the body to recognize the protein
“s”, which is the key that the virus uses to
penetrate into a human cell. The production
of protein “s” will be the “tickling event”
triggering the immune system and causing
the production of antibodies.

The Green new deal

The Green
New Deal
for a better world
The origin of the green new deal goes
back to The New deal by Roosevelt. The
Green New Deal is a 14 pages
Congressional Resolution which has
been written by ecologists, a
congresswoman and a Senator. In other
terms, it can be seen as the first step of
an ecological plan. It is not a bill or
something that can be passed and made
a law of. The Green New Deal
Resolution is a plan written to alert on
the danger the planet is incurring.
It was established in the aftermath of a
conference in 2018 bringing together
top climatologists. At the end of this
meeting, the conclusion of these
renewed climatologists was clear: a rise
in temperature of half a degree could
have considerable impacts on the
planet. Everyone agreed that reaching
this temperature threshold would mean
a spike in massive immigration, cold
fires, deadly heat stress, but also
considerable financial losses. these
financial losses would amount to trillion
of dollars and would also come along
with a human cost - millions of lives would
be at stake.
31

Hans-Otto Pörtner, a German climatologist, said in 2018 that if we didn't act
now, the planet is doomed to irreversible damages. And unfortunately, today, we
are on the way to exceeding the threshold set by climatologists. this state of
alert led a group of American activists to define a course of action: The Green
New deal - GND. This action plan was given real impetus thanks to Ed Markey,
member of the Democratic Party and Senate from Massachusetts to the United
States Congress as well as Alexandria Occasio-Cortez, Representative of the
United States. Both have turned it into a true Resolution.
But what does this 14 -page plan involve? It does not contain specific courses of
actions but can be seen as a statement of proposals. overall, it still supports two
big ideas. The first one focuses primarilly on what needs to be done to resolve
the environmental crisis, or more exactly what the United States needs to put in
place to limit the crisis. the GND says, like the climatologists, that we must
radically stop burning all fossil fuels and take real environmental measures.
however, this implies radical and concrete changes in the world and in society.
Indeed, the GND insists on the need to rethink the world in which we live in -
rethinking vehicles, the different energies, the means of food productions... In
other words, it recommends measures such as 100% of renewable energies for
electricity and transport by 2030, zero net emissions for the country by 2050,
massive development of the so-called "clean" industry , etc. ... These
environmental measures are, nevertheless, not without consequences and the
project initiators are well aware of this. the risks of an economic and human
crisis are numerous. That's why, the second big part of the GND is mainly
political and social. it focuses on the creation of jobs for the climate- about 20
million, on education for all communities, including the most marginalised and
the minorities, on a universal health system and on the economic security of
citizens...
This is what Jeremy Rifkin, American essayist and economist, supports. He has
been recognised for several years now for his books on the impact of scientific
and technological changes on the economy, society and the environment. In his
most recent work, rifain describes the major and necessary transformations to
be carried out within the infrastructures of our society. Many see Rifkin as the
economic and ecological ambassador of an energy transition. As a visionary, he
has been warning for many years about the wrong direction the United States is
taking. A new model must emerge.Accoridng to Rifkin, the society is on the
verge pf a third industrial revolution - a green and digital revolution. Of course,
Rifkin is fully aware of the dramatic changes this revolution is about to generate,
however, he claims they are imminent. According to the American essayist, they
have even already started : renewable energies are much more widely used,
financial markets are investing in energy transition and young people are
demonstrating ainsi global warming. Although the GND is still only at the
"proposal" stage, the ideas enshrined in it are underway. The United States and
the world are entering a new era - a greener era.

Generation Z: a new voice
for the environment
Are younger generations more engaged with global warming than the older ones? The
generation Z has recently been nicknamed THE GREEN GENERATION. A generation who is
determined o saving the planet. A generation who is willing to raise its voice on
environmental issues. Children, teenagers and young adults are taking action all around the
world. Climate change has been a challenge the world has been facing for many years now.
But the new generation is a generation of young people born in a warming world with huge
climate changes. this new generation s directly impacted by the actions of the former
generations. the future is now in the hands of the Generation Z. Young people, are aware of
the urgent need to focus on the environmental issues and address things which could be
improved. That is why the new generation is making moves and taking actions.

Dear little rays of sunshine,
We know how hard it can be to learn a new language,
to be interested in English lessons. However, you should
know how important it is to speak english in this world.
If you want to work in business or in an international
level, you will need English!
Speaking English fluently is also a good way of meeting
new people from the entire world.
It is also interesting to watch a TV show in its official
version!
To finish, we are sure that you like many English
singers, and that you would be happy to understand
their songs.
So please, do not give up guys, you can do it!
