Answer:
DETROIT (Reuters) - Joe Biden says he is done being polite when it comes to defending his decades-long record on race.
But when the former vice president is flanked on the debate stage Wednesday night by U.S. Senators Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, who in recent weeks have called into question Biden’s commitment to racial justice, how he responds to their criticism will matter.
The sparring between the front-runner and his two black rivals for the Democratic Party’s nomination to take on President Donald Trump in November 2020 is likely to figure prominently when they meet in Detroit.
Biden has broad backing from black voters after serving for eight years under Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president. But Harris and Booker, seeking to chip away at that support, have said Biden mischaracterized his stance on desegregation busing and downplayed his role in the passage of a 1994 crime bill that exacerbated mass incarceration of black Americans.
After Biden’s lackluster debate performance in June, black and progressive voters will look for him to clarify positions from his 45-year political career and present a clear vision for moving the country forward, strategists and party insiders said.

“An acknowledgement of his history is very, very important,” said Yvette Simpson, chief executive of Democracy for America, a political organization that backs progressive and racially diverse candidates. “I still don’t think he’s owned up to that.”
She cautioned that Biden would be wise not to be too aggressive in his rebuttals. “African-American voters do still protect African-American leaders,” she said.
Booker and Harris could face questions about their own pasts. Harris has been criticized for her civil rights record when she was California’s top prosecutor. In a preview of possible debate fireworks, Biden recently took a swipe at Booker’s civil rights record as mayor of Newark, New Jersey.
But the main focus is likely to be Biden, who has made race a central theme of his campaign.

He has said he entered politics in the early 1970s to fight for civil rights and racial equality, and that he was inspired to launch his 2020 White House bid after a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a woman protester was murdered.
He has faced criticism, however, for touting his ability to work with segregationists when he was a U.S. senator in the 1970s and for invoking George Wallace, the former Alabama governor and segregationist, to denounce Trump.
The latter insult prompted Trump’s re-election campaign to point out that during Biden’s first White House bid in the 1980s, he boasted about receiving an award from Wallace when he campaigned in the U.S. South.
Even so, a Monmouth University poll last week showed Biden with 51% support from likely black primary voters in South Carolina, the state that holds the first nominating contest with a sizeable black electorate. Harris had 12% support, and Booker’s support was negligible.

Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist in South Carolina who advised Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, said black voters’ continued support of Biden showed a disconnect between news headlines and voter sentiment.
“We see a Joe Biden today who is evolving over time, and in the words of Jim Clyburn: ‘Thank God a man can grow,’” Seawright said, quoting a prominent black lawmaker in the House of Representatives. “We are seeing Joe Biden grow every single day.”
CRIMINAL JUSTICE OVERHAUL
Biden last week released a sweeping plan to rework the criminal justice system. The proposal would undo much of what was accomplished in the 1994 crime bill he stewarded through the Senate as chairman of its Judiciary Committee.
The 1994 bill was supported by a majority of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which cited concerns over violent crime in urban neighborhoods. But it came under fire for mandating harsher

In medieval Europe, what type of person might have spoken these words? "I believe we all have a spark of godly intelligence, that we must live in agreement with nature, and that we must develop good character." * 1 point a stoic an ecologist a scientist a priest
Answer:
a stoic
Explanation:
The Stoics were thinkers who believed that human capacities were linked to a cosmic, hemodynamic and divine force, even the ability to reason and work. These thinkers do not believe that material goods, friendships, and health were not essential, but secondary. The essential thing was to cultivate the good, to be in contact with nature and to have a good reputation.
For this reason, we can say that the phrase "I believe we all have a spark of godly intelligence, that we must live in agreement with nature, and that we must develop good character" could be said by a stoic.

Answer:
The answer reflects the nature and character of mid-century America itself. Americans were reaching out beyond their border. Advancements in transportation and communications technologies were dissolving the nation's geographic and cultural isolation. Commerce expanded and travel increased as interest in exploration carried Americans around the globe. The war was a "window" through which Americans saw a strange and exotic land of alien manners, customs, and attitudes. Many were convinced that America would never be the same.
