Stoics

Explanation:

Stoicism is a philosophical school founded by Zenon de Citio in 301 BC in Ancient Greece. His philosophical doctrine was based on mastery and control of the facts, things, and passions that disturb life, using courage and reason for personal character. His goal was to achieve happiness and wisdom regardless of material goods.

The Stoics proclaimed that freedom and tranquility can be achieved only by being oblivious to material comforts, external fortune, and dedicating themselves to a life guided by the principles of reason and virtue (such is the idea of imperturbability or ataraxia). Assuming a materialistic conception of nature, they followed Heraclitus in the belief that the first substance is found in fire and in the veneration of Logos, which they identified with the energy, law, reason, and providence found in nature. The reason for men was also considered an integral part of the divine and immortal logos. The Stoic doctrine, which considered each person essential as a member of a universal family, helped break regional, social and racial barriers, and pave the way for the spread of a universal religion. The Stoic doctrine of natural law, which converts human nature into a norm for evaluating social laws and institutions, had a great influence in Rome and in the later laws of the West.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.
