    This day became an unofficial holiday of sorts for all of Harlem. Many black school children were dismissed from school so that they could attend the parade.

Herbert Hoover, head of the Commission for Relief in Belgium famously said, “This parade ushered in the Harlem Renaissance and the New Negro”. However, change was far from instantaneous.…

    Color Guard Narrative

    There’s something amazing about doing what you love and being around other people who share this passion for the activity you’re both involved in; however, this feeling is heightened by being able to teach the basics of the activity and watching others fall in love the way you did. As I enter my senior year this will be my fourth season as a color guard member and my third season as an assistance coach to the Great Bridge Middle School (GBMS) Color Guard. A few weeks before tryouts for marching band my sophomore year, my coaches, Chris and Donny asked for a few volunteers to travel to the three middle schools that filter into Grassfield (Hickory, GBMS and Hugo), and teach the rising ninth graders a few basics, the flag work and dance they needed for tryouts.

    Happiness In America

    Thomas Jefferson believed in the equality of all people, and that “they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, among these is the pursuit of Happiness.” (DI) Jefferson used “Happiness” because America is supposed to be a place where individuals come and live the life they want to abundantly. Happiness can be perceived differently; such as, some individuals just want to love one another in peace, others want to raise their children in a Democracy, and a few people move for the ability to get an education. The vague word of happiness gives the opportunity for the people to decide for themselves whatever value to fill that void. Jefferson also valued the people should have power to govern themselves and replace anything…

    Patriotism And Pride In The United States

    An American is anyone who loves life enough to want the best it has to offer. Americans are not easily satisfied with their current situation and strive for a better life. Americans also look forward to more than the next meal. As Lee Greenwood would say "there's pride in every American heart;" without the pride of an American there wouldn’t patriotism, loyalty, and or effort. With being said there also wouldn't be America without those factors; therefor there wouldn't be any Americans.…
