    St. John's University NAACP

    My two most substantial accomplishments are becoming the President of the St. John’s University NAACP and interning for the House of Representatives this past summer. I view these two accomplishment as substantial because I believe I defied the odds to achieve them. When I became an executive board member of the St. John’s University NAACP, serving as the chapter’s first Membership Chair, I told myself that I never wanted to serve as President. I felt as if I wouldn’t be capable to handle all the worries and stress that went along with holding such a high position. Unbeknownst to me, the next academic year, I would be serving as President of the St. John’s University NAACP.…

    Essay On Black Student Union

At my school, the divisiveness of these partitions is powerful: hatred among my peers is developed from the inability to unlearn prejudices in order to understand the circumstances of others. As Vice President of Sister Cities of Durham, an organization dedicated to fostering global cultural understanding, I strive to bridge cultural gaps by giving the students in my city an opportunity to deconstruct these mental confines. From creating school-wide fundraising events for well building in Arusha, Tanzania to hosting and conferencing with exchange students from Denmark and Japan, I spearhead efforts to diversify and aid both my community and those abroad.…

    African American Social Reconstruction

    The era of social and economic Reconstruction in the South took place during 1865 through to 1877. It was a great failure with too many clashing factors for it so become any sort of success, which was what brought it all to an end after only about ten years.

Black women, in particular, took on a range of identifications. How each woman choose to define herself, and the reasons behind her definition varied. Black Women who belonged to clubs, such as the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, presented themselves in a way that would reflect African Americans at their best.…
