Korean War failure

The article I read was the Daily Express out of Columbus, Ohio. The article dated of release was Thursday March 25, 1951. One of the articles in the paper was centered around a seventeen year old named Jame E. Rhodes who enlisted in the U.S army to help in the fight against communism. Korea is well known for being one of the worst wars in American history. Many young Americans died, and the goal of a democratic state was failed. The article about Private Rhodes was what his position in the Army was, (second platoon radio specialist) as well as how long he had been missing in action. America did so to fight the communist state of Korea in an attempt to create it into a democratic country. Another article and the biggest one on the paper discussed a local Ohio boxer out of Cincinnati by the name of Ezzard Charles, Charles was there in Columbus to help drive a fair pay bill in the state of Ohio. Lastly, the article discussing the death of a New York city judge. The judge had died following complication while getting operated on. Lastly, the most discussed issue at this time which is segregation and race. The article about W.E.B Dubois, speaks about equality to as stated in the article "negros". The New York city Department of Justice indicted about being a foreign power of the issue of silencing the spokesman for equality for "negros".
One major similarity between the class and the newspaper is that all topics are part of popular culture. Some may not be pleasant pop culture topics, but they are all topics in which people still discuss today. One being the boxer Ezzard Charles helping out his community by sponsoring a fair pay bill. Boxing at that point in time was the most watched(listened) to sport in the world. Everyone would stay up to listen on the radio to the World championship bouts that would take place pretty much monthly. For a world champion boxer to take a stand, it brought attention to the issue to people who may not see it just because of the person name they will read into the article. Next, the seventeen year old private, James Rhodes death is a form of popular culture because of the political nature of his death. People may or may not agree with every political stand, but for those who are very interested in politics and war they will read to gain an opinion on why his death should not have happened or why it had depending on their political viewing of the war taking place at that time. Lastly, a topic that is still in pop culture to which is equality for all people, at that time it was about equality for people of color. This is still a major issue in pop culture and was a topic of module in this class just weeks ago.
