African Americans in Atlanta
Kubeš, Filip ; Anděl, Petr (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
Atlanta, Georgia is labeled as Black Mecca of the United States of America since the 1970s. The term "Black Mecca" describes a city which attracts African Americans in big numbers. These people seek better living conditions and especially job opportunities. This fact is quite surprising, because Atlanta belongs to a region of Deep South, where the conditions of African Americans were harsher than in other parts of the country for a very long time besides other things because of "Jim Crow" segregation laws. This work should present which factors are responsible for the fact that a southern city such as Atlanta became a sought-after center of African American immigration and how these factors were reached. Atlanta became Black Mecca, because it achieved several goals. African Americans politically control the city, Atlanta offers superior job opportunities, high quality educational institutions are located within the city and the relations between white and black people are quite harmonic. These points were achieved besides other things thanks to the people that lived in the city including influential figures such as William Hartsfield, Ivan Allen, Robert Woodruff, Maynard Jackson, Andrew Young and many more.

Education of physically disabled Children
Syrovátková, Tereza ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the problem of education for children with physical disabilities. It discusses the possibility of their integration into the mainstream society and it opens a question of a special educational needs school as an acceptable alterna- tive on the way to a full inclusion. Through qualitative case study, it verifies Tom Schmid's idea that this kind of school may be a possible option only if it is not a total institution as E. Goffman puts it, it keeps the social functions of a school and respects student's individuality while concerning the handicap as part of his personality. The text specifies basic school functions, defines physical disabled people and their educa- tional opportunities and it describes the concept of total institution by E. Goffman as well as latter authors. The case study, based on participant observation, interviews and official document analysis, interprets totality of the institution in relation to its closedness that is not demonstrated by physical barriers as in E. Goffman's concept. The school possesses other features to bind its inmates within the walls. The research findings are interpreted in context of integration. It also looks at the conditions of ac- ceptability of special school education proposed by Tom Schmid.

Racial Integration of U.S. Professional Baseball in 1940s and 1950s
Lehečka, Marek ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
The presented work "Racial Integration of U.S. Professional Baseball in 1940's and 1950's" deals with circumstances and motives, which led to the breakthrough in racial segregation in major baseball leagues a few years before the civil rights movement in 1950's and 1960's. Most of American society in 1940's followed the racial segregation rules. The thesis approaches motives and roots, which led to baseball integration in time of unchallenged segregationist conventions. The main goal is to analyze the impact of the personal motives of Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey as well as the impact of outer factors, the Second World War and 1940's New York State law-making process on this issue. According to conclusions, Rickey was instrumental in ending racial discrimination in baseball. This move was caused by coordination of economic, sports and strictly personal reasons. Above all, the success of the integration was based on New York State laws forbidding the segregation in employment and putting pressure on segregated institutions, thus on professional baseball organizations.
