"Washburne...depicted the riot as a massacre of blacks approved by the press and city officials." -But There was No Peace (2007) "Washburne...highlight[ed] for the record that it was former slaves who had been brutalized by white southerners in this riot." -Terror in the Heart of Freedom (2009) "Fueling this quest was Washburne's fervent engagement with the great postwar questions, and his intuition that the riot held the answers to many of them." -A Massacre in Memphis (2013) "Washburne...reports...the temper and feeling of the people is bad, if not worse, than at any time previous to the outbreak of rebellion." -Daily Ohio Statesman, Jun. 23, 1866 What sparked the Memphis riot of 1866 that led to the deaths of 48 and homelessness of hundreds? In 1866, an on-site investigation by Congressman Elihu Benjamin Washburne (1816-1887) and his committee would result in Washburne's harrowing 1866 report titled, "Memphis Riots and Massacres." The Memphis massacre of 1866 was a series of violent events that occurred from May 1 to 3, 1866 in Memphis, Tennessee. The racial violence was ignited by political, social, and racial tensions following the American Civil War, in the early stages of Reconstruction. After a shooting altercation between white policemen and black veterans recently mustered out of the Union Army, mobs of white residents and policemen rampaged through black neighborhoods and the houses of freedmen, attacking and killing black soldiers and civilians and committing many acts of robbery and arson. In introducing his book, Washburne writes: "The committee reached Memphis on the 22d day of May last, and immediately proceeded with their investigations. They examined a hundred and seventy witnesses....Previous to this time the people of Memphis had been clamoring for a withdrawal of all the United States troops, boasting that they were perfectly competent to take care of themselves. General Stoneman had, therefore, turned the city and that section of country over to the civil authorities, as far as it was practicable, holding them responsible for good order, peace, and quiet...." About the author: Elihu Benjamin Washburne (1816-1887) was an American politician and diplomat. A member of the Washburn family, which played a prominent role in the early formation of the United States Republican Party, he served as a congressman from Illinois before and during the American Civil War.
Scat feared going to school and having his classmates pick on him, so his mother told him to speak up and tell them how he feels, and that's just what he did.
Sanny Lindberg Hermanson was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1896, four years before the turn of the twentieth century and sixteen years before the Titanic disaster. And while that tragedy was worrisome to her during her youth, she discovered that, as a woman, her future was severely limited by a system that tried to keep her in the hard labor camps of marriage, children and subservience to her husband. Sanny didn't want anything to do with the European system for women she had been born into; all her life she had heard the American system calling to her through the stories of her friends indoctrinated by other family members who had already made the journey and their fortune, and that America was a place of high living with streets of gold in a land of plenty where everyone had a house, an automobile and financial freedom wherever they decided to settle. And, with that picture in mind, Sanny left for America ready to seek her own fortune in the New World, arriving there in October, 1913 at the age of seventeen. What happened next has been captured in truly gritty fashion by Sanny in her hard-earned new language, through the Great Depression and World War II, while barely keeping notes, body and soul together for the next seventy years. Now travel with her on that "Pilgrim's Progress" adventure, which must have seemed to her that she missed a turn or a cutoff somewhere along the way. Ten the Hard Way is a journey you won't want to miss, but is best experienced from an easy chair.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Führung und Personal - Personalführung, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Heilbronn, ehem. Fachhochschule Heilbronn, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der genauen Begriffserklärung von Mobbing und der richtigen Abgrenzung des Begriffs. Zudem werden die einzelnen Phasen des Mobbingverlaufs sowie Ursachen und Auswirkungen dargelegt. Abschließend werden Möglichkeiten zur Intervention bei bestehendem Mobbingverdacht oder Präventionsmaßnahmen im Vorgriff erläutert.Mobbing ist mittlerweile ein durch die komplette Gesellschaft verbreiteter Begriff und gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung. Ob im Sandkasten unter Kleinkindern, die sich mit ihren Plastikschaufeln drangsalieren oder unter Jugendlichen, die sich um die ersten Liebschaften prügeln, es hat jeden von uns direkt oder indirekt betroffen. Schikanen und Psychoterror hat es schon immer gegeben.Vor allem heutzutage ist der Begriff Shitstorm nahezu allgegenwärtig. Sei es zum Beispiel auf Twitter oder Facebook, es ist jedem möglich eine negative Aussage der breiten Öffentlichkeit preiszugeben. Durch die fortwährende ¿Verglasung¿ des Einzelnen durch soziale Netzwerke gibt es somit vielfältige Möglichkeiten und Angriffspunkte für Mobbing-Attacken.Vor diese Entwicklung sind auch Unternehmen nicht gewappnet. In Zeiten der Globalisierung und des Web 2.0 ist es für weltweit tätige Betriebe eigentlich nicht möglich sich vor den sozialen Netzwerken zu verschließen. Daraus entsteht auf jeden Fall ein Handlungsbedarf. Das Mobbing-Thema macht auch vor dem betrieblichen Alltag nicht halt. Somit stellt sich die Frage, wie Unternehmen und ihre darin beschäftigten Mitarbeiter gegen eine solche Entwicklung geschützt werden können.
