A A campaign for free school buses for African American.schoolchildren. B A campaign to allow children of different races to use the same school buses. A campaign to change the law regarding which schools children can go to. [i192 Linea Brown was seven years old. To get to school, she had a long, dangerous walk of over one kilometre to a bus stop. There, she had to wait for the the rest of the way. That's if as lots of children have to travel to school by bus. What was surprising was that there was another school much nearer to her home which she wanted to go to but couldn’t. Why was that? The problem was that, as an African American, Linda Brown wasn’t allowed to attend the school near to her home as it was for white children only. It sounds unbelievable today but in the 1950s children of different races were still forced to go to different schools in the USA. At that time, the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, was trying to get equal rights for alll citizens of the USA. Its members campaigned bravely, despite threats of violence. They contacted Linda’s family and twelve other families in the town of Topeka, Kansas, and asked them to speak out. The families put their children’s names down for the all-white school they lived near to. The NAACP knew that the school would refuse to take the children, When it did, the association took actior first battle was at state level but the co in Kansas rejected their complaints. Lik many people all over the USA at the tir the courts saw nothing wrong with hav different schools for different races. ‘The NAACP didn’t give up, though. It went to the Supreme Court in Washing ‘The decision by the Supreme Court too long time but, finally, on May 17" 1954, said that it was wrong to educate child of different races in different schools.

The other shops often sold just one type of product, for instance meat or fruit and vegetables. Some sold a variety of food but, instead of the customers walking around the shop and collecting the items they wanted, they sat in a chair near the counter while a shop assistant collected everything for them. Supermarkets had already taken off in the USA, though, and, in 1940, 40% of all food there was sold in self-service shops. As people started earning more money after the war and different kinds of food became available, supermarkets came to the UK, too. Slowly, they took over. As they opened more and more stores, the supermarkets were able to offer lower prices. They were often large enough to have their own car parks where customers could park for free, unlike town centre shops whose customers had to pay to park or use the bus. Larger and larger stores. opened, but often outside the town centres. In addition to offering food, they also started selling clothes, toys, cosmetics and other things. People no longer needed to go to the town centre at all. Even those who preferred to buy their meat or bread locally soon decided that it wasn’t worth making an extra trip just for these few items. It was easier to buy them in the supermarket, too. fe Although many people were happy {>with the cheap food and the EZ osm odf saa a ee ease of doing all their shopping in one plat others were less pleased. They were upset that their town centres were now full of closed-up shops and that they had nowhe, to buy fresh food anymore. The elderly, in particular, were badly affected by this. Previously, they could walk a short distane to the shops they needed and, perhaps more importantly, could enjoy a friendly ch with the shopkeeper or the assistants. This unhappiness led to campaigns and protest Most of these were local, trying to stop a supermarket opening in a particular towr ‘These campaign groups had several reasons for their protests. They represente: farmers who were forced to sell their food to supermarkets very cheaply. They represented shop workers who were often paid very poorly. They also cared about th environment. Food sold in supermarkets has often travelled thousands of miles to get to the shop. Smaller shops sell much. more locally-produced food which doesn't need planes and lorries to transport it. This reduces air pollution. In addition, fresh loce produce requires less packaging. This, in turn, means that less plastic and paper is required so less of it ends up in our rubbis These protests seemed to work. Thanks to these campaigns the local food movernent growing all over the world and many town: have seen markets and farm shops openin up.

He won eight medals at his first Olympics and eight more four years later. Even more remarkably, all eight that he won in that second tournament were gold. With the six gold medals he had already won, that means he won fourteen gold medals in his first two Olympic games. He was so much better than anyone else that some people believed he must be taking performance- enhancing drugs. However, Michael was tested nine times during his second Olympic tournament and passed every test. In fact, the reason for his amazing success may be his diet. While training, Michael eats an astonishing 12,000 calories every day. Anyone not doing as much exercise as him would soon suffer from serious health problems if they tried to eat the same amount. However, for Michael it seems that the more he eats, the faster and fitter he becomes. So, what exactly does he eat? Breakfast includes eight eggs, fried onions, mayonnaise and three chocolate pancakes. Lunch consists of a 500g packet of pasta, ham and cheese sandwiches and more mayonnaise as well as eneray drinks. His third, and final meal of the day includes another packet of pasta, a pizza and more energy drinks.
