    Lambda Theta Phi Latino Community Analysis

    When I was first introduced to Lambda Theta Phi Latino Fraternity Inc., certain aspects of the organization caught my attention. First and foremost, the organization promotes unity within the Latino community. Being united as Latinos is essential because together we acquire great accomplishments for the betterment of the community as well as ourselves. Moreover, being united provides the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities as Latinos and break the barriers society has imposed upon us. For me, being able to interact with Latinos at UNCG, through this organization, and having the opportunity to meet individuals who demonstrate valuable character is of great importance.…

    Plaguing African American Community Analysis

    Jessica, I like the way you tied this whole paragraph together, relating other minorities and genders to the issues pointed out by the author. Your use of quotes I think is spot on for the discussion question. It is important that we not only gain a sense of greater understanding from learning about social problems, but use what we have learned to make a difference within society. The struggle of African American males, while the most prominently discussed social issue in the book, is not the only social aspect in desperate need. Many of the issues plaguing the African American community, as you have pointed out, have manifested within other minority communities around the country.…

    Summary: The Influence Of African American Communities

    As a result of being born African American, Coats had to confine living in black neighborhoods, never being able to live in a white suburb. "I knew that my portion of the American galaxy, where bodies were enslaved by a tenacious gravity, was black and that the other liberated portion was not. I knew that some inscrutable energy preserved the breach. " It's important to realize, that even today, lawmakers are hindering the influence of African American communities. For example, every 10 years the census takes place and the government records how many people are living in various regions.…

    As a student, how would you feel of you were told that you couldn't attend the school of your choice because of your race ? It’s sad to say that this has been an issue in U.S. past history.

    Black Studies In Liberal Arts Education Analysis

    The Unbalanced State of the U.S Educational System Throughout American history there have been countless numbers of reforms to our educational system. The media has been very instrumental in helping to bring what are often underrepresented styles of education into the limelight, making our society aware of educational topics they might have been blind to otherwise. Whether or not these reforms made it the conventional way to the congressional level, where law can mandate educational reform, many of them have still had a serious effect on the way students are being taught today. Black studies has seen a course of heavy reform and triumph. Johnnetta B. Cole explains in her piece, Black Studies in Liberal Arts Education, the 5 ways black studies…

    The Importance Of Community Cultural Wealth For Students Of Color

    Through the lends of CRT, the cultures of Students of Color can nurture and empower them, while asserting that culture can form and draw from communal funds of knowledge (Yosso, 2005, p. 76). For Students of Color, culture is frequently represented symbolically through language and can encompass identities around immigration status, gender, phenotype, sexuality and region, as well as race and ethnicity (Yosso, 2005, p. 76). Creating a learning environment that fosters the importance of community cultural wealth for Students of Color builds relationships within family-school-community partnerships, which can enhance student success and well-being.

    National Association Of Colored People Case Study

    The National Association of Colored People was established in 1909 as an attempt to combat the racial hatred and discrimination that plagued the era. Since its inception the organization has attempted to work with various non-white communities in and out of the courtroom. By supporting such cases such as Moore V Dempsey, Guinn V United States and the iconic Plessy V Ferguson, the group’s influence in both modern day and past civil rights movements cannot be denied. With this in mind this group has also had its many pitfalls and has not always, and still to this day, have the support of the entire black community for valid reasons. Many people feel that the founding of the NAACP by a majority white group is problematic in itself.…

    Segregation And Racism In Chicago

    On Monday, September 21, the themes that stood out for me was segregation and racism in Chicago. For example, the neighborhoods are segregated in such a way that minorities are kept out from prosperous neighborhoods and have fewer resources available to them. This means that Latino and African American minorities have less wealth and prosperity to excel in school or in the job market. For that reason, this reminds me of my own experience of how my high school was neglected, due to the majority of the student’s being minorities, and thus lacked the funding to renovate the school and hire better teachers to get students prepared for college. Although, we were part of U-46 district only South Elgin and Bartlett got funding and thus had my high…
