As Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in his 1963 “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” In his letter, King described his tactics for the Civil Rights movement in the Southern United States, where he believed a great injustice was occurring.

Imagine I’m walking down a road and i’m not aware of a car driving down the road the same direction as i’m walking. The driver gets closer down the road around where i’m walking but I have moved off the road. The driver gets a text and thinks there’s nothing wrong with checking it because it won’t take but a few seconds. He becomes unaware where he’s driving and sees that he’s directly in front of me. He begins frantically swerving to avoid hitting me. He tries to swerve away from me but with…

It wasn’t until 1934 that a copy of the original fifteenth century manuscript finally appeared. Aside from being one of the most important literary discoveries of the twentieth century, The Book is a remarkable addition to the body of English mystical writings that provides a close look on the…

For the first discussion of this class I thought it was very touching. As I sat and watched the mind-blowing tragedy that took place during 9/11 it caught me off guard. What went wrong during this event was that the World Trade Center allowed well over 1.3 Million people to come in and out of the building. Some people were Bomb traders, Tourist, and etc. During September 11 2001 flight 11 hit the north tower at 8:46 am, this troubled many of the citizens that was in that building thousands of…

The story takes place in the town of Jefferson in the early 1900s where there were many changes that were occurring within the community…

“It will be funded one way or another, but anytime we have support from the community it’s going to help us achieve other projects,” Grable said. The park, which will be named after longtime resident and alderman Leon Corlew, will feature a wet play area – called a splash pad – and a dry playground. “Our splash pad is the main feature of that park, even though it will only be open during the warm months,” Grable said. “It’s something that’s unique to our…

Graffiti is a very broad category of art. The art form includes tags, throwies, throwups, pieces, practically anything that could be described as writing or drawing on a wall and because of this wide range of types, graffiti can either be as simple as writing a name, or as complicated as an elaborate depiction.
