Muhammad ali power point
Muhammad ali power pointwmsbierer Muhammad Ali had a pioneering career both in and out of the boxing ring. He won the gold medal at the 1960 Olympics and became the world heavyweight champion in 1964 by defeating Sonny Liston. Ali joined the Nation of Islam in 1964 and changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, which was controversial at the time. In 1967, Ali refused induction into the military due to his religious beliefs, which led to him being stripped of his title and sentenced to prison. Though banned from boxing for three years, Ali continued fighting for social justice and inspiring others with his courage and principles.

Racial Segregation
Racial SegregationRagaytone Racial segregation was practiced in the United States through much of the 20th century, separating public facilities, services, housing, education and transportation along racial lines. Facilities and services for black Americans were underfunded compared to those for white Americans, despite the phrase "separate but equal" being used to justify the system. The civil rights movement led by figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks advocated for desegregation and equal rights. Gradually, racial integration began to take hold in the US.

He was stripped of his title and banned from boxing for nearly four years but had his conviction overturned by the Supreme Court in 1971. Despite being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Ali remains an iconic figure who is admired for his boxing skills, principles of religious freedom and racial justice.
Jim Crow Powerpoint
Jim Crow Powerpointbiancaj5 Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation and were enforced in many American states between the 1880s and 1960s. These laws required separation of public facilities like schools, public parks, restaurants, buses and trains between black and white people. There were separate, and unequal, facilities for blacks and whites including separate waiting rooms, ticket windows, sections of theaters and cemeteries. Signs were used at facilities to clearly mark segregated entrances, sections and services for blacks and whites.

Ppt 10 jim crow lawsDB3igs After the abolition of slavery in 1865, Black Americans still faced widespread legal discrimination and racism in the Southern United States. The Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and denied Black people access to equal resources like schools, housing, and the right to vote through literacy tests. These unjust laws were not abolished until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s fought to end segregation and racial discrimination.
Ida B. Wells
Ida B. WellsAmy LC Ida B. Wells was born into slavery in Mississippi in 1862. She became an educator, journalist, and prominent activist against lynching and racial segregation in the late 19th century. Wells conducted investigations into lynchings in the South and gave powerful speeches condemning the practice. She co-founded the NAACP and was a leading voice in the women's suffrage movement. Though she tried unsuccessfully to become a state senator, Wells opened doors for future generations of African American women in politics through her pioneering work confronting injustice and fighting for equal rights over a century ago.

Digestive system
Digestive systemsiobhanpdst The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body. It begins with ingestion in the mouth, where teeth and saliva begin breaking down food. The food then moves through the esophagus and into the stomach where acids and enzymes further digest it. The partially digested food moves into the small intestine, where most digestion and absorption occurs with help from liver, pancreas and intestinal glands. Undigested waste then moves into the large intestine where water is absorbed before elimination of solid waste through the rectum and anus.

Chapter 20: Immigrants and Urban Life
Chapter 20: Immigrants and Urban Lifeldaill Between the 1880s and 1900s, millions of new immigrants arrived in the United States from southern and eastern Europe, fleeing poverty, persecution, and seeking opportunities. They faced difficult journeys and were processed through immigration centers like Ellis Island upon arrival. The new immigrants largely settled in cities and took on unskilled jobs, living in overcrowded tenement housing. As cities grew rapidly, urban infrastructure expanded through skyscrapers, subways, and parks to accommodate the large populations. However, this also led to problems like unsanitary living conditions that reformers worked to improve through legislation, investigative journalism, and social programs.

History of blood transfusion
History of blood transfusionSUJAY BHOWMIK Blood banking has evolved significantly over centuries. Early practices included drinking blood for health benefits. The first recorded transfusion was in 1492 but resulted in deaths. Successful animal-to-animal transfusions were performed in the 1600s. Landsteiner discovered the three main blood groups in 1900, greatly advancing safety. During World Wars I and II, innovations like citrate preservation and plastic bags established blood as a transfusion resource. Today, components like plasma and cryoprecipitate are extracted to treat specific conditions. National policies now regulate blood banking in India to ensure safety and availability.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 4-30-2025.pptx
YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 4-30-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC) A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 795 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 95 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003.
The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.
- Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

- 1. CHARLES DREW By Elizabeth DeBord and Louella Fields
- 2. COLLEGE MAN Drew went to about 3 different colleges. When he was studying at Columbia in the late 30’s he started researching the properties and preservation of blood plasma. Soon he found efficient ways to process and store blood plasma. Thus blood banks were born!
- 3. TIMELINE Drew was born June 3, 1904 in Washington, D.C. 1939 Drew married Minnie Lenore Robbins and had 4 kids together 1940 he finished his thesis “Banked Blood: A study in blood preservation 1941 Drew appointed supervisor of Blood for Britain 1950 he died April 1 in a car crash
- 4. COLLEGE ALLSTAR When Drew was younger it didn’t really look like he was going to be a doctor. At Dunbar he was a four letter-man. When he attended Amherst College he was a star athlete, all-American half-back, and captain of his college football team.
- 5. REVOLUTION OF THE BLOOD BANK Drew was the first person to make the blood bank. His introduction of a system for the storing of blood plasma revolutionized the medical profession. Drew first used his system during World War II. He organized the world's first blood bank project in 1940 – “Blood for Britain”.
- 6. REVOLUTION OF THE BLOOD BANK… CONT. He also established the American Red Cross Blood Bank, of which he was the first director. Due to his research on how to store blood many people who would’ve died in WWII didn’t.
- 7. SURGEON TRAINING In 1941, Dr. Drew returned to Howard University, where he gained new interest, particularly in the training of young surgeons. He had spent a total of seven months in the two blood projects, yet in this very brief but productive period of his professional life. He made a contribution to what was to become a successful World War II blood procurement effort.
- 8. RED CROSS The experience gained through Dr. Drew's efforts at the Red Cross New York center proved invaluable. During World War II, 35 blood bank centers were in being used. By war's end, millions of donations had been received by the Red Cross, donations that made the saving of thousands of lives of wounded U.S. servicemen lives possible.
- 9. DREW’S IMPACT… The blood bank allowed blood transfusion to be more efficient when it came down to which blood type is which. Soldiers during World War II were saved, both white and black.
- 10. THE LOSS OF A GENIUS Mankind suffered a great loss in 1950. At the age of 45, Dr. Drew was killed in an car accident while driving to a scientific conference. His pioneering medical work has endured. Many lives have been saved because of his genius at turning basic biological research into practical production methods is impossible to figure out.
