First sang by the Temptations this song became the first of many Motown songs to declare political protests on the world climate, but for my generation many recognize the song as being soulfully…

three branches, a trailblazer for Asian Americans. If I can’t make it to the very top, I’ll aspire to inspire the future generation of Asian Americans in government. When I’ve outlived my use in the world of politics, I would like to work for the Red Cross as a first responder and concurrently as a photojournalist, possibly as a war photographer. Dangerous?

Rwandans, but Ugandans who favored “ethnic perfection”. Many everyday and common sentences and phrases had been used to refer to the extermination of the Tutsi race. They had to say these things in code so that what they had said did not show any “red flags” to those who were witnessing what had been happening. Such words and phrases referred to children as “small rats” or “pulling out the roots of the bad weeds,” which had been used to describe the killing of women and children. Moreover,…
